AVG FREe VERSION would have to be my recomendation let me find you a link. I don't know much about norton but check your running processes in your task manager.

yea man yea man, nortons is a bitch to uninstall, you can download a program at there website that will get rid of it for you.

AVG is ok but it isnt great, email me at [email protected] and ill tell you how to crack nortons 2006 for free for 4000 some days, right now the best anti virus software available is bitdefender and so far its been quite elusive in the crack department, although ive only looked for about 15 mins


and i reccomend after uninstalling nortons you use a registry cleaner, it leaves behind some goofy temp and other files, nothing bad but its just a drain, plus you have to if you want to crack it

AVG was also recommended to me by a reliable source and seems to be doing the job.

microsoft has a free antivirus program now, it works very well and its brought to you by the people who invented the systems you are now using.

Microsoft Anti Spyware is a very good Beta but I also recommend Spybot Search and Destroy just for a backup.
