So I'm curious, are they the best? I just bought a new HP laptop today and need to protect it obviously. What do you all use and what do you think about it. Sounds like 1 year of Norton costs 50 bucks. Thoughts :shrug:

I use AVG Free Edition for virus protection, and I've never had any problems. A good program for spyware protection is Malwarebytes. This is just my opinion, but I don't think it's necessary to pay for good antivirus/antispyware. There are plenty of free programs out there that do the job.
take back that pos and get a MAC.
Norton blows as does McAfee. Don't need any of them with a Mac.

Clint or others--I am curious- Why is it Mac's have no prob with viruses?

I've never used an anti virus and only had one virus in all my years of having a computer. I swear the anti virus companies are the ones that allow it happen so they can be in business.

No expert here by any stretch.
I used Panda in 08, Norton in 09 and am using trend micro now. All three protected me, as I have been incident free......
