Though I like NAV. A few weeks ago my brother had a problem with an up to date NAV 2002 not finding viri. He used a online web site to clean his computer, and installed AVG, which found another.

I had to take Norton off as my comp didn't like it once they added a lot of new stuff, I have been using AVG for nearly 2 years now

If you do uninstall norton use the uninstall utility from the symantec website,
I uninstalled from add remove progs and ended up with pieces of the program still left behind.

I've been using BitDefender Pro for a couple of months now.

Normally I wouldn't pay for an AV as there are plenty of reasonable free ones available, I certainly wouldn't normally choose something which is a combined AV/Firewall/Spam Detection program.

However.....this one has been absolutely fantastic, it is updated regularly and catches evrything I've thrown at it, the Spam detection learns as you go along, and the firewall is easily configurable.

Well worth the money.

As a Freedom BB user NTL for some reason doesn't supply Netguard free to us.
Having said that, I have used AVG for 12 months plus the free Zone Alarm, and they have both worked fine.

I also use Spybot search and destroy, AdAware, and Spyblaster.
Regularly updating and scanning with these free programmes seems to work ok for me.
