norton isn’t bad if you have some bad ass gaming machine…otherwise it takes up more memory than its worth(Virtual Mem) If you ask me norton is too graphically intensive now. Free…search trendmicro on google. If you really don’t want viruses…get a hardware firewall…they are like 30 bucks at best buy and trust me they keep stuff out…just go light on the porn n u’ll be ok…this is coming from a guy who hasn’t used a/v or software firewalls in 1.5 years…not one virus…unless you count the one i made…and all because of a hardware firewall ---

funny thing is, my virus is not from porn. about a yr ago, i made the mistake of trying to dl music/movies. that opened the flood gates. shit laid dormant, but lately win files are “missing” and my computer is sluggish. i tried some antivirus program, winfix or something liek that. i swear it f’d itup worse.
