Antivirus - Help Me Choose A New One
I want to replace my antivirus program. Currently using McAfee and it's a drag on the laptop. Looking for a really good antivirus that will not slow down my laptop.
Any suggestions? I'm looking at PC-Cillin right now.

The tech guy at Dell said the Norton 360 is really good. I'm having one delivered to me in the mail, so actually I haven't tried it yet.

I have a Dell (bought in Sept) that came with Trend Micro pre-installed. It seems okay so far and it doesn't change the speed at all.

I have had Norton before...it and McAfee both really slow down my computers. (Not at the same time! I mean, they each do.)

My computer came installed with MCAfee, and it didn't seem to slow it down. My old lap top had it too, but that was an old computer anyway, so it was slow with or without it. I was offered two versions of Norton though. One was $39.95 and the other one was $79.99.
