Hi all!
My subscription has run out on my Norton AntiVirus and Webroot SpySweeper and I think I'd prefer to uninstall both and go with Kapersky or something else. But I heard it's difficult to get Symantec off the computes totally. Is this true? What would I need to do to remove them?
What antivirus software do you all recommend?

Thanks!
