If you currently do not have an AV, I suggest: http://avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Its free and best of all highly recommended! |

I just got switched to TimeWarner and it gave us the Road Runner virus protection. It does a pretty good job, better than Norton. |

About time ISPs gave out free protection. better for the internet, don't want millions of vulnerable PCs out there with no protection so they can become spam/virus/etc zombies. |

Alot of places that review anti virus software disagree with what you said on Norton and McAfee. I'm not saying that I think either of them is good, but I"m saying that alot of sites that review Anti-Virus software say both Norton and McAfee are decent anti-virus. (They also say zone alarm is pretty good) In terms of free virus protection, go with Avast. If you going to buy a anti-virus I would recommend you use Google to look up some and figure out which would be good for you. Each has advantages and disadvantages. |

Norton and McAfee suck from personal experience. Norton's rent-a-cop self sits there and says "hey you just got a virus, just wanted to let you know". ZoneAlarm on the other hand goes "hey you just got a virus and i just blasted its bitch ass back to hell where it belongs." |

From my personal experience with Norton, I agree that it did suck. However they have made improvement over the last two years so just don't dismiss them out of the running. (Yes I have Norton, I get it for free though I so don't care) This is something stupid Norton did for everyone who hates Norton: After I installed everything it tried to run its auto-update program, and it saw and classified its own auto-update program as a threat and blocked it from accessing the internet. (I later found out this was due to a setting I set but still it was quite funny) |

Norton works great for me. Maybe because I got it for free. And I don't feel like getting another. |
