    Hold fire on installing a new antivirus program. I'm just doing a little research.

    When do you intend to uninstall Norton?

    Norton Antivirus is just one of many products sold under the Norton brand name. It's like saying you bought a mouldy piece of cheese, and then saying Asda's is rubbish, which is still grammatically incorrect, and maligns every product under their roof unfairly.

    I imagine his inside leg measurement is >32".

    In the end, you pays your money (or not) and you makes your choice. The question uppermost in my mind is why so many people still get infected, despite having all these "excellent?" freebies installed.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    I would consider Kaspersky to be the best A/V product I have used thus far. I evaluated it next to NOD32 and found that it picked up a Trojan that was trying to install itself, whereas NOD32 didn't react.
    Same situation with Avast and AVG, where Avast stopped a virus from installing itself on my computer.

    Saying that, these products are being constantly developed, so it's difficult to give definitive answers.
