Free AVG is much better than Norton and most of the other paid-for ones, in my opinion. I used it for years, and Lynn has it on her PC and her laptop. The only antivirus I know of which is even better is Nod32 and this is the one I use now. It's a paid-for one, but it's not that expensive. Cheaper than Norton.
Someone did post on here recently that they knew someone that had problems with it, but I've never found any.
