antivirus
I have norton security and have basically been happy with it. It is up for renewal. I would like to save money or get something a little less expensive. I would like to get y'alls opinion on other security programs that you have familiarity with. Thanks for your help

Eset's NOD32 is the best.

I would reccommend using Avast home edition, seeing as it has a better detection rate than AVG.

I second this as a virus recently ate through AVG that I had on one of my computers and in the end I had to completely reformat the computer. I'm using Avast! 4.7 Home Edition now.
