I have norton internet security 2007, and I have to say that I am pretty happy with it, i know people say it takes to much ram, but Is it worth the protection.

Can somebody tell me weather or not paying for the good norton programs Is better than the freeware ones.

Money aside Is It Worth It?
 
i would rather pay for AVG.
i find its much more effective. and easier for the computer to run.
 
It depends whether you like resource hogs or not.
By the way, AVG is free...

If paying, pay for Nod32.
If not, download AVG, Avira or Avast! Those are all goods antiviruses.
 
avg free is free...
normal avg isnt.
and i have found in my experience that the pay version works better.
i was using free.. scanning daily.. and then i got the proper version and it found about 3 viruses...
like not tracking cookies and stuff.. but trojans and the like.

so thats why id recommend buying it..
although avg free works great as well.

OK, seriously, pay for Nod32 ( I mean the new ESET pack ). There are no viruses that will be able to pass through your resident protection.
 
Upgrade To Norton 2008
I have it it's great. It takes a little bit more RAM but it's worth it... I chose security over performance :P

Norton is one of the best scanners around, whatever people say... Most of them who says it sucks are people who heard it sucks from people who heard it sucks... But hey, never had to do hard cleaning on my drive, and Norton has my A-V from 6 years...
 
It's still AVG for me. We installed it here in the workplace right after we got infected with Trojan. We were using another antivirus then. It got better when we installed AVG. :)
 
Statistically Avira Antivir is supposed to be one of the best, I use it myself and its not much of a resource hog at all tbh apart from when you're running the scan of course. Here's a link for you to check it out:

For me Avira is on about 15,000k 3 processes

this running on a
socket 754 Sempron @ 2ghz
1Gb RAM


This is just not doing anything sitting on the tray btw if thats what you meant.
