Ive got Norton anti virus software and its due for renewal and they want £40
Someone said you could down load for free of the net another one ?
I also have AOL (subscribe to use their broadband) but never used or run their anti virus software
Any suggestions ? I assume if get something free it wont be as good ??
Don’t think ive had any virus in the last year which cant be bad ?

2 of the best are
avast (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html)
and AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/)
Norton Anti Virus is terrible. Bad enough that they should pay YOU for installing it. Avoid.
Theres nothing wrong with free, and in the case of virus killers - they either protect against viruses or they don't. The free ones DO. Why would you want to waste money? Nuff said :)

I do like McAfee It's not the cheapest out there (actually one of the more expensive) but it's very very good.
As for free ones

:yeah: Wot he sed.
Of the free ones, these two are good.
Though be careful. Don't just download ANY free AV software from the web. There's a lot of dubious software out there, Some spyware or Adware ridden, and some just badly written. it all depends on how much you value your data.
Which is why I chose a not-so-cheep commercial product.
