Anyone got any recommendations on antivirus software (non Mac)? What works best while also not slowing down the computer?
When I got back from deployment, my laptop crashed and had it fixed. The computer guy told me that AVG was the best antivirus software, but I have been hearing mixed opinions on that lately. On my new laptop (a year old) it came with the regular Norton Antivirus software on it, and it is more annoying than anything cause it keeps popping up with the software expiration thing and asking me to renew it. I don't want to renew with Norton as I have not heard one good opinion of them. So, I am wanting to find a good one that I don't have to keep buying updates, but that also doesn't sit there running ALL the time and slowing down the computer.
Also, if I were to get another software and install it, will it take off the Norton stuff that was pre-installed so I don't have to keep getting these annoying renewal requests? Thanks guys, any and all suggestions and info is appreciated.
