    What virus protection program do you recommend?

    My Nortons seems to be having some kind of spazz attack in the last few days. It came up Wednesday evening with a message that the virus protection was turned off and that I needed to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Pain in the ass but I did that. Now this morning I turn on the computer and here it is again. Before I go through that I need to know if there is some other program I should be getting to use instead

            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                  Great antivirus, I've been using it for the past 5 years or so. They now also have a firewall as a separate product, I'm very satisfied with it too.

                    Funny, exact same thing happened on my laptop yesterday. I cannot reenable it. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but still cant get it to enable.

                                        Mine died earlier on today. I had to do a system restore, it fucked it up so much.

                                        It's there, but it doesn't switch on for some reason. Gonna check out a few of those ones posted...

                                                    Norton sucks, been using that program for years and I regret every minute of it
                                                    now i fully recommend TrendMicro PC-Cillin, doesn't consume too much of cpu

                                                            anything else is outdated within a week.
                                                            Norton's comes with the live update that is supposed to update automatically all the time. Guess it missed something so I'm going to try something else that has been recommended here ,maybe in addtion to nortons hopefully that will catch just about everything cause this is a real pain, especially when I'm not much of a computer geek to really know what is going on
