well tomorrow my subscription with norton antivirus will expire and i don't quite feel like paying for it. can anyone reccomend a good antivirus program ?

Norton AV -> can find stuff but bot remeove it properly
McAfee ->can't find that many but usually cleans whatever it finds.

I'd stick with either Norton or McAfee. I personally wouldn't trust my equipment to others.

I run Norton on all of my home machines and we run Norton Corp. at work. I've had McAfee as well, and I don't really see any advantage to one over the other.

Hey Stef!
Here are 3 that superior to those you listed

1-NOD32 (by far the best.. Heuristic dection like you wouldnt believe + very efficient with cpu ressources)

2-Kaspersky AV Pro

3- Panda AV Platinum 7.0

Have you tried reinstalling Norton? Every time I reinstall System works 2k2, it gives me another year of service...

Pc-cillin is a very good program. We deployed Inncoulte T here at work, and its ok. I also heard F-secure is good. Another nice thing about pc-cillin is there is not subscription, once you buy it you can update till your little heart is content.
