avg. I ripped out norton after the umpteethn crash and being sick and %$%$%$%$ing tired of losing info and time to their %$%$%$%$ crap program.
Bossman told me AVG a long time ago and i resisted. I finally wised up and did it and will NEVER look back. I think I got the pro version or something like that though that I paid for.
Whatever you do don't use norton or mcafee. BOTH are CRAP.
