Hey Michwayne, I have heard so many things about so many AV's I think it comes down to personal preference. I happen to love Norton, and to hear what people say about it you would think it is absolutly the worst AV out. Funny because I kept seeing all the hoopla about AVG, so I disabled my Norton and downloaded AVG, Updated it like everyone says to do and then ran a Full scan. Thinking It was going to find this enormous amount of bad stuff, found absolutly Nothing. So I deleted it right away and continue to love my Norton. So I guess its up to you. I like to use c-net for reviews for almost any software or hardware programs out there.
Just my opinion.
