    I started with the trial version, but have paid for the full version. Beware encrypting your disk will take it a few hours (Although you can use the laptop whilst it does it).

    If you only want the whole disk encryption and not the whole email signing stuff then Free Compusec does the same for free.

    For anti-virus I love Avast anti virus (free for personal use) and have used it for years. I wouldn't willingly let Norton near a computer :)
