My norton runs out in 9 days, can someone please post a free weblink for AVG, as I dont want to download a clone version by mistake!
Also does anyone have a UK Complint number for Norton as they have been awful!

:eek:

I wouldn't recommend AVG, have a look at a few of the virus / spyware threads on here. Microsoft Security Essentials is getting fair reviews, as are Avira.

Try using Avast! They are free and are not resource heavy.

I noticed that Martin Lewis recommended AVG (along with Avast! and MSE) on Radio 5 Live yesterday afternoon ... (no mention of Avira).

To be honest up until relatively recently I've gone without anti-virus software and a personal firewall and have relied on the firewall built into my router, but I'm now using COMODO Internet Security on both my desktop and on my netbook. I've not had a virus for about 10 years now as I'm very careful about what I download, run or click on. Even when I was going without anti-virus I'd scan my PC every few months just to be on the safe side and I've not had any virus issues since my windows 95 or 98 days.

Edit: I avoid using Internet Explorer like the plague (although it has improved lately), I stick to the latest builds of either Chrome or Firefox, both with ad blockers installed. I use unique passwords for pretty much everything and whenever I'm on a wireless network outside of my own home I VPN in to my home network.
