I used to have McAfee, but even on a 1.8 mhz Pentium 4 it got sluggish with glut-ware.
I switched to a version of Trend Micro. I still use it, but it has changed ownership and a new version is coming soon. I'm not sure what the cost will be.
I recently started using AVG. It seems to work pretty well. I haven't had any problems, and it doesn't take over the system resources to run. [I have it set to auto update and run daily during a time I am away from the pc.]
I like it (ver 6). I just downloaded 7.289 and will check it out.
folks thanks for the feed-back. I dl'd AVG, disabled my Norton and am giving AVG a test run.
I very much appreciate the help and suggestions. AVG looks good so far and is not a resource hog.
I run Mozilla FireFox as my main browser so I am looking for any conflicts with it. Nothing major so far. We'll see.
