I installed AVG instead of renewing my Norton subscription and I'm glad I did. AVG uses less system resources and provides the same, if not better, protection.
I used AVG 7.0, switched to Avast, and to be honest I kinda liked Avast but in the free version they give a fairly annoying and limited user interface. I updated to AVG 8.0 and it is really nice, clean interface and everything.
AVG gets my vote.
Norton is to much of a system hog.
Also Norton doesn't work very well, i scanned a friends system which had Norton with AVG free 8.0 and it found well over 700 problems.
It's possible that someone from Norton's head office heard about this and voted for their product. *looks around suspiciously*
But, i laugh at whoever voted Norton.
