I used Norton 360 Security for the last 4 years and never had a problem, plus i like all the extras it has too like reg cleaner and defrag.

Just don't get Norton.

Linux

/end thread.

The best virus protection is not to visit dodgy websites and to never open dodgy emails. My parents wouldn't listen and having to spend a lot of time fixing stuff remotely started to **** me off. So last December I pulled the trigger and wiped Windows off their HD. They now run Manjaro Linux and all problems are gone. The entire system updates if you click a single button and they haven't had a single crash on their arguably old computer since I installed Manjaro.

I'm about to buy a new computer and will definitely install Linux as my main system.

PS: If you have to run Windows, look into "Superantispyware", that one's quite good (and free). Norton & Co. just slow down your system too much and once you install them, it's almost impossible to get rid of them.
