    Hey all. I leave for China in about 3 weeks for an internship. I was wondering what the best anti-virus to use over there would be? I currently have norton 360 since I got it for free from my job. I remember when I went to China last time the only thing that was of use was Kaspersky but I wonder how things have changed.

    Any thoughts?

    I see no reason why you would need to change AVs when you go to China. I've used both Norton Internet Security 2010 and MSE there with no issues updating, etc.

    Yep--stick with the Norton 360 you're using now, and you'll be just fine.

    heh... maybe you'd just want to equip yourself with a VPN tunnel to another country.
