yes, but Norton is in cahoots with Windows, and Windows pays people to make viruses so Norton can protect against them, and make people pay more…(My Theory)

AVG Free 8.0 is my FAVORITE virus/spy-ware removal and PC protection suite. No spy-ware, no registration blabber and 100% free. Runs on low system resources and is CONSTANTLY updating the virus definitions. I only turn it on to scan every once in a while. Its good about not complaining about every download, only when it needs too.

:star: :star: :star: :star: :star: - 5/5!
