AVG 7.5 and the dreaded Norton IS 2007. Norton is going soon anyway, so AVG is making it self at home at the moment.

I've tried Norton, McAffee and Avast 4.7. I hate McAfee because the buttons are not visible with the somewhat low display resolution that I use, so I tossed it into the bit bucket. I sent them an email about it but never got a response. Norton worked ok, but required annual support fees. Avast is what I use now and I think it works as well as Norton and is free for home use, and I get free updates several times a week.

forumdude123, you should do little more of research in regards of anti-virus software as you listed very few options. I'm missing PandaSoftware, Kaspersky or F-Secure. All of them are software to be pay for but doesn't mean they cost too much
