    Norton makes my comps too slow and it's rather pricey. I am using AVG but I'm not really sure it is that great.

    Those anyone have any recommendations for a good AV program? Or are people of the opinion that they are all the same anyways.

    I've read the CNET reviews but the more opinions that better, I say.

    thanks for you help.

    I've been running PC-Cillin internet security 2005 for about 4 months now and i love it. Doesn't touch my resources and has caught several nasty viruses, as well as some network viruses. A big bonus is that it's pretty inexpensive. I doubt that there are any real differences between all of the progs though.

    I personally use Avast. It is free for perosnal use. I have never had a problem with it. I get my mail on Yahoo and use Mozilla so I'm not prone to them.
