Default What anti-virus should I get?
Norton 360 is about to expire and in my view it's cack - what are the good people in techno land recommending this month?

I used to get really pissed off with Norton insisting I ran a full scan every 7 days, I'd much prefer to decide when to do it myself...

i swear by ZoneAlarm Security Suite

Firewall
AntiVirus
AntiSpyware
AntiSpam
Email Protection
Scans can be auto-scheduled if required

have never had any problems.. or virus', spyware or spam

far quicker and uses less resources than norton

No Andyw option

On a serious note though, I've been using Avast for the last few months and it's been entirely trouble-free. (And it doesn't cost anything )
