    Hey everyone, I am looking for a new virus protector. I have it between 2 choices, AVG Free or norton 360. I have norton 360 but I am not sure if AVG free is better. I dont want avast because it slows down whenever it updates. When my subscription for norton 360 runs out should I renew it or get AVG free?

    Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free, lightweight and accurate.

    @ 4fingers97: Did you not notice there's a whole sub-forum ^^^ up there dedicated to anti-vir and security programs? Perhaps your question is already answered in it.
