I should maybe check it out again. I stopped using Norton years ago because it was slowed my bootup time.

Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much. Do you want to marry it? WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does that feel?
That thing is probably some sort of raw sewage container. Go ahead and rub your face all over it.

Little late on this but I use

Malwarebytes - freebie. Need to buy it and make it run with ESET Security Suite.

ESET Security Suite - which is the firewall and NOD32 antivirus.

Been using the ESET stuff for 9 or so years and so far, the only thing that got through was a pdf trojan a week ago. Not sure how that happened, might have been my doing as I sometimes tinker with settings that I should probably leave alone. Aside from my own stupidity, ESET have been bullet proof protection for me.

I gave up on Norton years ago, it eventually harmed/hampered every PC that I put it on. Was using Outpost Firewall before I went to ESET. I started having problems with Outpost stability so dropped them. Shame as it was a really good firewall back them. I think they where going through some development/company issues at the time.

Never tried ESET Security Suite. I have heard a lot about it. Maybe I'll check it out later. :)
