After +/- 3 years of using Nortons Av & NIS I've mad the change, yes I was happy using it but atm am a lot happier using NOD32 AV and ZA Pro, NOD32 updates on a near daily basis, AFAICT at any rate. As for ZA Pro, if your paranoid and take notice of all the 'attacks' it flags up, it might not be for you, IMO, it's doing its job, let it, turn off the ' show me

and you'll be fine

Right well I've narrowed it down to 3.
Either:

1. Zone Alarms Full Firewall and AntiVirus Bundle
2. AVAST
3. NOd32

Thinking it will end up being either Nod32 or ZoneAlarm.

Avast's free, Nod32 has a good reputation too.

Just thoght, I'd update everyone....
I went for NOD32.

Installed very easily. At first you wonder what all the different protection modules mean but clicking on each one it soon reveals all and is easy to customise.
So far, it is working perfectly, and when people said it was small, it sure was, takes up a lot less resources and just plods away without you even noticing.

Thanks for reccomending it. I definately give it the

Make sure you get behind an effective firewall as well, Halcyon - some good free ones mentioned in this thread. To my mind, a firewall's even more important than antivirus.

Thanks Patric, got myself covered for firewall. Was the first thing I installed on every PC. I use Zone ALarm and am also behind a secured router. But its good advice.
