well im looking for a nice antivirus software (norton maybe?) i have norton antivirus 2008 version, but i have 15 days left, im looking to buy a key for it. or buy 2009 suit, but the thing is, is this for your whole computer? does it have settings so i can block things like zone alarm pro ect? i know how to scan ect, just seeing what FULL system security i can buy for 60$ and under

I've been using Norton Antivirus 2009 (Gaming Edition) for a few months, and I can say I've very impressed by it. I've never had to tinker excessively with a bunch of settings, and yet it has kept my computer malware free - in fact, it detected two pieces of malware that NOD32 missed. It also uses fewer resources than any antivirus program I've ever used in the past.
In short, I would highly recommend it. -
Norton 2009 is very good, it'll use less resources than Norton 08. Norton Internet Security does protect your whole machine with a firewall, antivirus/antispyware, and anti spam.

thanks, so norton is basically a whole security suit?

I have tried Norton, Kaspersky, ESET, AVG, Avira and Avast.. I think it's a personal choice, all depends on the person using the computer.
I ended up getting ESET NOD32 for my laptop and Avira (free) for the desktop. No complaints so far.. Been almost a year. -
Not all manufacturers or store offer this, and I've only seen it for Norton and McAfee products, and to some extent, Kaspersky (Kaspersky still makes you pay some $10-20 per year even after upgrade rebate). -
well i need this badly, got a Trojan virus showed up on my windows scan, i removed it, by click it remove, i know its still on my computer, how do i get rid of it successfully , i didn't even go on internet to get it within the 3 days i didn't scan.

(Next time please wait for an answer; don't start double posting questions, it's bad forum behaviour). -
sorry, let this topic die down, buying a norton subscription
antivirus, ect.
