Need to find a replacement for Norton Internet Security by alegator on 02-22-2007 at 12:07 PM
My Norton Internet Security 2005 expired. What other firewall/antivirus suite (not Symantec) is the best out there? I read good reviews on Nod32 antivirus, but I'd still need a firewall. Thanks for any advice.

I'm very satisfied with NOD32 and Outpost Firewall Pro.

I think AVG is a nice free Virus Scanner 
But if your willing to pay ive heard V.E.T. is a good Antivirus and i quite like Windows OneCare

Id Reccomend Avast Anti virus and Windows firewall

NOD32, it wins all tests, are fastest. Doesn't have the best design though. I recommend it!

well the zonealarm security suite is quite nice...
but has some serious issues with WLM... so that is a down point...

Zone Alarm is tacky. Use it if you want a placebo effect on internet security.

i've been working my way through some replacements for norton as well. I wouldnt recommend CA security or windows liveonecare.
I've found trend micro pc-cillin good for antivirus so far. These sites might help:

If you really don't want to go out and bug it, you can just uninstall the program then reinstall it. I have never tried it.
