        Norton anti-virus is too critical, and in my experience will slow your computor down, I personally like AVG which can be downloaded from somewhere like download.com and is completely free, also consider installing something like CCleaner or Advanced System Care which will just tweak your computor that little extra by clearing temps and cookies etc, these too are free...

                  I got this email from carphonewarehouse the other day offering 1 years free BullGuard

                  BullGuard Internet Security

                  Worth ?40.00 & it is sort of like free even if only for 1 year

                    Antivirus

                    Avira Antivirus, no problem with it, used for 7 or 8 years now.

                        Another vote for Avast. Paying for antivirus programs is a mugs game nowadays.
                        He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.

                          Any free antivirus as good as the pay ones as long as you keep updating them every few days mate, with AVG antivirus some programmes you have to disable AVG in order to install them.

                          Tools owned: Hammer, Chisel, Crowbar, Punch, Chainsaw, Cutter and Brain!!!

                          Did you know People will question all the good things they hear about you but believe all the bad without a second thought.

                            Fave replies from various threads

                            1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
                            2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
                            3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

                              Avast or Avira are good for catching nasties. I use Avast now as it looks nicer and has a user friendly interface
