Default Nortons Anti Virus

My compaq Presario 2175US came with the 60 day free trial of Nortons 2003.
What is best, subscribe after the 60 days or buy a boxed version.

Same thing but it saves you from having to stow an ugly yellow box in
the desk drawer

Go to www.free-av.com and download the free "Personal Edition. This is a
great AV tool and can be set to update automatically. It is so good many
shops are now shipping it with new computers instead of Nortons and Mcafee.

I personally changed from Norton AV to Avast 4 Home. Avast is free
and has (as far as I know) kept me virus free.

Buy Norton SystemWorks on eBay. It is a great anti-virus and all-around
tune-up utility suite. Also includes Ghost so you can backup your hard
drive. Best deal is usually on eBay. Highly recommend.
