Hi there,\n\nInstead of all these "Mine is better than yours" answers that go on around here, I'll instead answer with the facts.\n\nYes, Norton IS a good PC security program.  It has been known to slow down people's PCs as it can be resource intensive, but if it's having no ill-effect on yours then I wouldn't worry.\n\nAlso, please ignore people who recommend AVG and Avast. Looking at current protection ratings, AVG scores a lowly 90% protection against all known viruses, whilst Avast comes in at 92%. This means they are letting through one in every ten viruses - pretty shocking. Norton on the other hand is protecting against something like 98.3% of all known viruses - a much better score.\n\nIf you would be interested in other Security products that are better than Norton, you should try either Prevx1, Kaspersky or F-Secure who all score over a 99% protection rating.

i don't believe that a free antivirus can be best. it can be good, but not best. like grisoft's free software. it is good, but it also got a lot of times when it doesn't detect a virus going rampant in my computer.\n\nbest way to have free that is best is to consider to join beta testers of antivirus softwares. either they'd give you the software for free or you'll have a good deal for it at the end of the testing.

The Best One by far is Mcaffee hands down. Norton places a heavy "footprint" on your computer everything slows down once it's installed. If you want a headache get Norton. As for Mcaffee? Don't go out and buy it from the store because it also puts too many files on your puter. Go online to their website and download the "Web Version" It's pretty cheap I think 14 bucks a year and best of all it will check for updates on it's own everytime you access the internet. It's quiet, runs in the background and is always up to date. I've tried bunches of AV, and I think this is the best!

From my professional experience as a consultant:\n\nNone of the Antivirus programs are perfect.  No one package "gets 'em all".  The real question to be answered here is which one is the friendliest to my computer yet still does an acceptable job of detecting viruses?  If I had to choose between Norton or AVG the answer would be AVG every time.  Norton (and McAfee) are notorious for screwing up computers and making user's lives miserable in other ways.  AVG is fast, clean, and does a good job.  It's also free if you're a home user.

Don't buy Norton! It will slow down your pc! There are several free antivirus programs and some very good pay antivirus programs. The link below is a link to PCWorl.com that has ranked the top Antivirus programs pay and free. Pcworld.com says that BitDefender is the best pay antivirus. \nSource(s):\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0...

AVG anti-Virus is one of the best out there and they offer a free version at www.grisoft.com  You can also buy upgraded version, but it isn't necessary.  I have bought and used Nortons for years but now I use AVG free version instead and like it much better.  It was recommended to me by the company that does my network setup for my company.

You did not tell us what version of Norton you are using, the new Norton Anti virus also has Antispyware, there should be a function to turn off the antispyware on Norton, but there still can be conflicts. It is a real drain on system resources as well.\n\nI like the AVG anti virus, I do not use the avg antispyware because I have the free Windows Defender and Spybot Search and Destroy that is all you really need.\n\nNorton gives that message "needs attention" but that could be because your antivirus definitions are out of date. You have to take a close look at what it is telling you????\n\nYou can uninstall either in start programs or add remove.

I prefer McAfee.  There's little real difference between the virus signatures that they work on -- but I've had performance problems when I've had Norton at work.  I've used McAfee for 10 years and never had a problem or a virus hit me hard.

KasperSky Antivirus is the Best But i Prefer that u Purchase a Classic " Norton Anti-Virus "

I am serious when I say that your next task should be to uninstall Norton completely and install either AVG or Avast for free.\n\nNorton just has too much going on and tries to literally take control of your computer. It will run very slow.\n\npersonally, I prefer Avast. It also helps to stay under the radar, as many attempts at going around Norton are out there. The updates to the virus definitions are daily.

AVG works best in tandem with programs like Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware, and one other free antivirus of your choice (like say Mcafee Stinger).\nTrusting your system to only one antivirus or trojan/spyware detector is just suicidal. No ONE program will detect everything.\nPS - Norton is the best....at slowing your system down, hogging system resources...screwing up if you try to uninstall it...taking forever to do full system scans...yup...Norton is the best at SUCKING LARGE.

Norton slows everything down.  Any antivirus program will, but Norton makes it REALLY slow.  \n\nI would not use it, there are much better alternatives out there, like Avast! or AVG. \n\nCheers!
