WOAH! I can't believe my eyes. All day i was worrying about my security so i checked my norton account and it said i had 64 days remaining on my product key. So i pop in the cd into my windows vista comp, it upgrades me to norton 2007 and i have 465 days left on my account! I dont know how it happens but im happy now lol.
 
I like norton thank you very much! lol, nothing like getting a free 15 month version and an update. I had norton 2006 Internet security and it upgraded me to 2007 :-D
 
People like Norton because it's well advertised and appears to be doing a good job.

It's not till it starts causing problems or they try a different anti virus that they then realise why very few people like / use it.
 
Norton works fine for me. Doesnt use up much of anything. I have the new 2007 internet security. It detects and blocks things mcafee and other things miss. im happy with it.
 
its nice that for some reason you got longer subscription...but i still wouldnt use it:D

I think the only good thing thats good made by norton is Norton Partion magic....now that is good.

This has been discussed before, 7.1 is no longer supported as it has been replaced by 7.5

AVG 7.1 Free Users!

As of February 18th, 2007, AVG 7.1 Free Edition is no longer supported. If you are still using AVG 7.1 Free Edition, please take action now to remain safe by downloading the new AVG 7.5 Free Edition. Do not leave your self unprotected.

Yeah, AVG 7.5 is good.

I didn't thin Nortan was thatbad once it was running, I didn't really know it was running but it took the mick starting up, I hated it for that!

I did get Virus' when I norton too! But I haven't had a single one since I got AVG.
 
I've always used avast antivirus, is that better/worse then AVG

strange I installed AVG anti-spyware and it doesnt want to work
 
People will tell you it's better, and some people will say that it is worse.

To be honest, I think they both do a great job at being an Anti-Virus!

Was it AVG 7.1? Because that doesn't work anymore, it has to be 7.5

Even though you got Norton free I would still use either AVG or Avast either one is good and is better than Norton and they are not resource hogs like Norton.
 
I actually just un-installed Norton and installed AVAST and it found 5 pieces of malware/trojan horses that Norton never touched.
 
Nah, it doesnt seem to be doing much with my resources. To tell you the truth, it didnt take any less from my hard drive and my computer actually runs faster, they scaled it down, read up on it. I love it, no more worries for me.
