I repair and set up pc's for people. Norton is very good the 2010 version is as good as nod 32 i believe. As for hogging resources and beling a .... to remove thats a thing of the past.
I never thought i would ever use norton again but i instal it on everyones pc i set up and no-one has had any problems.
The free a/v progs are ok just don't expect them to be as good as the paid for ones they are not.
However if all you do is occsaionally surf web and come here to **** my team off lol then you should be fine with avg free.
If you tend to dload and anyone in family uses limewire etc otr bit torrent clients then you need something better than avg.
And another tip you can get your premium a/v programs very cheaply if you dload the trial then look on e-bay for the license key only.
This is perfectly legit I got norton 2010 3 licenses with 2 year expirey date for £12 total i think.
I sold 2 for £10 each so mine was free and I made a Profit and I have genuine software on my pc
