Norton Subscription Finally Finished!
Well my Norton subscription for product updates has finally finished, god it's been a quick year! I have decided that I do not want to renew Norton again because I feel it was too heavy on system resources. I now have a dilemma though because I don't know what to use instead. So my question is, do I use the free AV solutions, AVG etc, (some more suggestions would be good) or do I install Sky's Mcafee suite? Your opinions are appreciated!!

The Free for a year copy of McAfee is just as bloated.
I my opinion Nod32 is by far the best AV on the market along with Outpost 4 Firweall. Ray
Some Advice.. Its always advisable to inform your old ISP as soon as you have migrated that you have moved.

I'm happy with ZoneAlarm as my firewall, you know the old "if it ain't broke don't fix it saying" I also know that NOD32 is good a friend did recommend it but I'm wondering if I can save a bit by going for one of the free virus programs. What does anyone think about Avast?

Had Norton for 3 years loved it but decided to take the plunge with the free Mcafee and glad i did, I find its just a tad more difficult to configure but once all that is done its great.
