    I currently use Norton 360 on my desktop and it works fine. It goes out in a few months and was thinking about trying Bitdefender. I need something for my new Sagar laptop. Which ones do you guys like, Bitdefender, Norton, Kaspersky or Webroot. Please help. Or is their one i'm missing. These seem to be the top ones. Thank You so much ! :)

    One more thing, Is downloading it online a bad idea ? I' know some companys renew it automatically at the end of the expire date, which is fine but i've read it can be a pain to cancel it if you decide to go else where. Thanks again.

    Will your new laptop be running W8? If so, it has Windows Defender (basically MSE) built in, so you don't even need to install an antivirus. If you really want to pay money, out of the ones you've listed, Norton has worked the best for me. Light on system resources, very comprehensive yet fast scans.

    No need to create multiple threads on the same topic, I've left your other thread opened and moved it to the appropriate section of the forum.
