Question Looking for better security programs
I currently use Norton System Works (07) and was thinking about replacing it with Norton 360 but, I was not impressed with all the negative user reviews. Does anyone have any rcommendations for better security programs that also provide better customer service? I was leaning towards Kapersky or Panda but still not sold on either one. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I read in PC World that BitDefender Internet Security got good reviews.

I find that the all-in-one programs don't seem to be as effective as ones that specialize in there respective areas..........I use AVG Free AVG and Comodo Firewall and never had a too many problems......If you are set on the all-in-one have a look at Zone Alarm Security Suite...good program

I like AVG Internet Security but don't know about their customer service. Unlike Norton, I've never had a problem with AVG.

Reminds me of an old joke. Car salesman tells a customer "and we have the largest service center in the area". Customer then walks away saying, "No, thanks, I'd rather buy a product that doesn't need so much service".

AVG, Avast, and Eset are all good names in PC security.

Hey, thanks to all of you who gave me some suggestions. I have researced all of them but I'm still undecided. Is there anyone out there that is truly satisfied with the security programs that they use on their own computers?

I used the trial of NOD32 and it was great, it's a good-looking lightweight program.
