McRic Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I currently run avg pro but it's due renewal. Renewal is gonna cost £31 for 2 years. Is there any others I should be considering before renewing and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I've never really had any issues with the Free version of AVG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchkev Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 this will get ugly lol ive been using mcafee since 2007 and havnt had a single problem, now on 2009 and will be re-subscribing again in 2010. i wouldnt reccomend norton, although alot of people will, its personal preference tbh, if youve had no problems with AVG then stick with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonny-1600 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 mcafee is the best.norton uses to much space and memory and slows everything down and is just 100% sh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewLX Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm on AVG free have been for about 5 years not one problem.. I would never recommend Norton uses far to many resources, and is a pig to remove from your system if you don't like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldarto Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Mcafee is soooooo much better than norton. My ISP gives it me as part of my Broadband deal. yay!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to provide a removal tool.... Says it all! Recommendations... Freebies... Avast (I've trusted it on a test server... seems perfectly fine) None Freebies...

Norton is actually quite good, the recent release runs very well on the average £450 laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton is actually quite good, the recent release runs very well on the average £450 laptop.Norton security products have always failed every test I've put them through... I remember Norton leaving traces when I uninstalled it on test PC... without any removal tool (don't think it was availible then) there was 2 services to remove, around 20 registry entries to remove plus files disguised as system files to remove... It should be uninstall and gone... not uninstall then spend 2 hours removing what's left which would prevent you using any other security app sucessfully until you've done. Norton's backup and partition tools have proven to be good however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
