i have found norton to be a very slow program. i reccomend the full-version of AVG Anti-virus Professional, and AVG anti-spyware, and ZoneAlarm Firewall (free version of ZA works great). before you install these, COMPLETELY remove ALL components of norton, otherwise there could be compatability issues which are common between these 2 programs. AVG will not slow your computer down like Symantec (norton) and McAfee, and Bitdefender do
AVG ANTIVIRUS Professional 7.5
AVG ANTISPYWARE 7.5
ZoneAlarm free System Firewall
I the free version of AVG anti-virus, but my parents recently got the full verion and it works very very well. Zonealarm is a very good firewall also
EDIT>> Also, if you do get AVG, make sure you buy it, as the trial doesnt last very long (anti-virus and spyware)
