Hi Bruce,
I've used Norton for some time and really haven't had any GREAT problems ,
but I'm wondering if it's time for a change ?
What would you suggest as an alternative to NIS , covering all the same
areas , - antivirus / firewall / spyware etc.
Are the free versions of AVG / avast / Zonealarm etc good enough. What do
you use...?
Thanks
Tom
