The three month free period of Norton has just expired on the laptop - Toshiba, Pentium dual core, running Vista Home Premium, ISP = BT.

Do I renew the norton subscription or download AVG or similar??

Any informed advice much appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

The choice is yours if you are impressed with norton renew it personally on windows i use Nod32 from esset far less system hogging and intensive, and a all round better product. but it is a hourses for courses kind of thing.

Personally I would lose Nortons at any cost,and replace it with anything else apart from Mcaffee. There have been numerous threads about it in the past, and something like AVG would probably be fine for you.

Be sure you FULLY uninstall Norton before installing any other Antivirus or you will run into some serious issues. AVG and others are okay. I personally like McAfee myself.

I agree Norton is not the best of anti viruses, not even close and it uses up much more memory/resources than the good ones..

As mentioned before NOD32 is probably one of the best, if not the Best...

AVG is pretty good and I remember they were giving away a year subscription recently, not sure if they still are tho.

Same Difference

I use Bit Defender and find that works well for me.

I will stick with Nod32 i have had the misfortune of working on quite a few of them and when ever i can i shift people to no32 Because it works well.
