Solve : Norton subscription expires soon? |
|
Answer» hello I run Windows Vista on my laptop, which is almost a year old. When i first got it, i INSTALLED Norton Internet Security as my antivirus and it has worked fairly well (although i had a huge problem with Brontok virus last year, but that's been cleared up now). My Norton SUBSCRIPTION expires in a couple weeks and i'm considering switching to a free antivirus program that can be found online, LIKE AVG or Avast. is this a bad idea? will i be compromising my laptop's security? any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch Dee Avira or Avast are the best bets....... Here's the removal tool for Norton...Make sure you remove it completely..... http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039/Some experts here like this one: http://www.free-av.com/ AVG or Avast ave both very good. As for Norton, I will bite my tongue. Thanks for the input! Even after my subscription expires, should i still uninstall the Norton? can't i just disable evrything and not risk causing any trouble? Thanks again PS i forgot to mention that i was also considering BitDefender Another good choice, but it may be a bit tougher on resources.......Completely remove Norton.

I have no problem with free software. But when it COMES to certain utilities (with ANTI VIRUS sw at the very top of the list) there's no way I'm looking to go cheap - I want the BEST available. In my opinion that's Kaspersky. But hey, that's me. Regardless of your choice, make sure it's updated regularly and kept resident at all times.

Quote from: kpac on September 13, 2009, 12:16:50 PM Heh okay. No persuasion at all?No persuasion? I don't understand your question.As in, I can't persuade you to change your mind about free software...No persuasion needed. I try not to speak unless I know what I'm TALKING about. My input is based on empirical data.Okay - no harm done. |
