If you want a free product,, then run with the best free one,, AVG..

I am not quoting because I think the poster is wrong.. so If he/she takes offence then I appologize in advance.
Heard a story the other day from a buddy who installed NOD and it nuked his system.
Like me this guy is NOT a Noob when it comes to computers. He works and I worked in the Comp industry for years.
Please Excuse the length of the following.;
Norton has gotten some bad press in the past but IMHO they have gotten there act together.
I curently have NIS2008 installed on all of my pcs and have Not had a problem playing games or surfing the web.
All Firewall function work behind the scenes flawlessly.
Now, had you asked a year or too ago I would have told you to stay well clear, but not now.
On the otherhand... Norton 360??? adds little to the more competent Nis version.
360 is for those duped into thinking they really need it.. ie First Time buyers and those sold by in-house staff of computer shops trying to boost their comissions.
Nis is better than 360.
In defense of the rest.... feel free to try all.
Everybody has their own preference and I am not going to dictate what should be purchased or downloaded.
Ending statement.. I use and enjoy using Norton Internet security (works with Vista 32 and 64 Dosen't work with Xp 64), and I use Avg for Xp64, with Zonealarm firewall (Can be tricky to set up but secure).
Comment and responses welcome.
Cheers
