I use Windows One Care Live. It's quite good. It isn't free, though.

hmm but how much is that?. As said before AVG is free and along with ZA, and router firewall I haven't had anything major happen in 5 years that hasn't been resolved using the above software. Unless Norton is the worth paying for extra over AVG then I doubt many will change.

Ooops run Windows Defender as well.

Personally I hate it, I've always had conflicts with other software when running it in the past. It's a pain to fully remove and sometimes can be resource hungry. No doubt the newer versions are better but I refuse to pay for it when AVG suits me fine and have never had a problem with it. :thumbs:
