Why not Norton?

Why not Norton?
too cumbersome ... came pre-installed on a new laptop & caused loads of snags ... slowed the machine down a lot also - just didnt get on with it :sick:

Did you see the group test on anti virus programs last week? AVG let through 56 virus problems during the test which all of the others managed to catch.

Also, my previous factotum was using AVG on the laptop I bought him last year and in under a week it caught everything bar flu. :)
