Which antivirus package should I go for?

[Rhubarb]

My Norton that came with the pc has expired, but before I part with the necessary cash to update it, I thought perhaps I should shop around?

So which is the best antivirus software in your expert opinions?

Anybody?

I am happy with zone alarm on our family one but sophos on my work laptop seems very unobtrusive. Don't know how the costs compare.

Never heard of either of those! Has anything gotten through before?

I have McAfee - used to have Norton, but think McAfee was slightly cheaper.

Wasn't aware ZoneAlarm did antivirus, but have used it as a firewall before now. My McAfee has a firewall now though.

Hmmm, it's complicated, both Norton and McAfee have different packages for Firewalls, you have to buy them separately from the antivirus packages. Isn't there an all-in-one that doesn't cost the earth? Seems like a big rip off to me!

Zone Alarm is my antivirus, firewall, spam and pop up blocker. Nothing has got through- look on this website
zone alarm

you can have a simple firewall for free.
sophos is big in education here.

It appears to be an American site, I want to pay for it in euros but don't think I can.

I paid on a credit card in dollars and it just got converted.

I don't think Zonealarm free version has antivirus, but AVG does and is the business. All for £0

Just downloaded it - thanks Tamum!

You're welcome

I use AVG for antivirus and Zonealarm for the firewall
