I have Norton on my new laptop 'cause it came free for three months.

When it runs out, should I switch to AVG or re-subscribe to Norton?

i use avg and its pretty good just wondering is it ok to run 2 or more anti virus programs at the same time?


I use more than one...AVG and Norton.

I don't run them at the same time. Did that once and there was an issue with one thinking the other was a " virus-like " activity...lol

Running them in sequence works pretty well though. I have had AVG catch things that Norton didn't, and vice versa.

The best free one I found is/was AVG.

Free is OK but can you really trust them to do the Job
and protect your computer?

It's a good question. I use Avast and it seems to do the job.

When I first heard of AVG, I took out an old disk drive, scanned with Norton AV and the drive was declared clean. Scanned with AVG and AVG found 5 different viruses.

Both NAV & AVG had up to date definitions and the drive had not been used in about a year at that time.

Obviously, as a SETI cruncher, I also don't want a resource hog. :)

thanks,
