    I suggest staying away from Norton (personal experience: very slow and resource greedy).

    Avast free is my personal choice, it's nice. Just have to remember to grab the key once a year but that's easy and no big deal.

    You mean a removal program? Evil gave me a link for the symantec site. It worked well. If you have a file missing for the AV and you want to use it still, then you could do a repair install with the norton disk or download from the website.

        Avast has a better detection rate in a slimmer, sexier package so I am forced to show AVG the door  ;D
