Can anyone recommend a decent anti-virus/ malware/ firewall software? I'm currently using Norton 360 but it is clogging up my system and making everything run slow. Plus its just coming up to renewal time and it is £50 :ohmy:.


Thanks in advance

I've got AVG free running as anti virus and have spybot running all the time, also occasionally check with ad-aware and malwarebytes to make sure the systems clean. Haven't had any problems and they're not using up much of my system resource.

Also have Kaspersky running on a few machines (free if you use Barclays online banking) and that also seems to be a good one Smile

Actually remember you mentioning that in the past, should give that one a go.


Remember Kaspersky is FREE if you use Barclays online banking :thumbup1:
