I was using avast but just got a new notebook with norton. Norton seems to be running smoother but that always makes me fear it isn't actually working.  What do you find works best?

At the current time I am using McAfee.  I have also used Norton in the past.  They are both good.

I hate Norton, when you try to get it off your computer it is nearly impossible. My friend who is a business technology major and he says that Norton is basically a virus itself.
I use Spyware Doctor and I absolutely love it.

I personally despise Norton, just because it's given me a lot of trouble in the past :( I always scan my computer with Malwarebytes on a regular basis though

From experience I would recommend SEP (Symantec endpoint protection) "or" Kaspersky Internet Security,
then add MalwareBytes to compliment either one. With this level of security you'll see that all other anti-virus
has been lazy in-terms of protection.

Norton and MalwareBytes are lifesavers.

I use Trend Micro; much better (IMHO) than Norton or McAfee.

A lot of you seem to like MalwareBytes.Is it free?I've got the Win 7 virus and I've heard MalwareBytes is one of the only ways to get rid of it.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

I just use free antivirus. I always say if someone made the security then someone can break it.
