Antivirus Software

Postby CodeRed68 » Fri Feb 10, 2006 1:20 am

Hey all,
I was wondering if I can get some opinions on antivirus software. My Norton Antivirus is due up for renewel 3/1 and I was considering maybe checking out a competitor. I have not been all that happy with the interface and ease of use I get from Norton.
Anyone have any other good options?
thanks !!

If you have Comcast internet they offer free McAffee antivirus and firewall. You have to be careful with antivirus I find. It can often be almost as bad as a virus itself, bogging your system down and such.

Microsoft just announced they're getting into the AV business. A little cheaper than nav apparently at $50. What could possibly be better?
