Best Virus/Firewall

Post by HPDarkness »

So anyways, I have Norton. But it just ran out. I was wondering what new virus/firewall protection I should get. Does anyone recommend one? I am willing to pay full price for the best. I'm not a person who gets viruses. But i just like to keep safe.

I heard the new Norton 360 was good, but i'm still not sure. Help would be appreciated :)

If you're willing to pay full price, why not just buy Norton again?

But me, I use AOL's and McAfee's and stuff like that.

Norton sucks, so does McAfee. Lemme find a list of the top 5 best anti-virus programs. Personally though, I recommend Avast! or AVG.

According to page two, F-Secure is your best bet.

I use Grisoft's AVG Free edition, it's great.

Though, NOD32 is also a very good, but professional anti-virus program. If I remember correctly, NOD32 is $29.99 or around that.
