I use AVG on a daily basis - small program, uses little resources and it's free, AVG has been real effective and stopped a couple of viruses cold that were buried in either a website or an html link but it's probably not quite as complete as Norton and the others, and my kids sometimes end up with spyware (use AdAware) and nasty little bugs from time to time that AVG doesn't seem to pick up.

Then use I use symantec or trend micro free online every two weeks or so........but for those of you who go to "those" sites you probably ought to use Norton - I've always had problems with McAfee, conflicts and it's a resource hog.

it's a resource hog
