Posted August 18, 200520 yr I'm running Norton right now ... time to renew the subscription this weekend but I won't fork out money for that.Anyone recommend anything else? I'm running ... yeah, forget the name of it on my other computer - little red 'V' inside of blue and white shield (McAfee? I don't know) ... seems to work fine.Suggestions please. Norton has worked fine in the past, I just want something free.

August 18, 200520 yr Author Yeah I've got Spyware Doctor, MRU Blaster, Spybot, and Ad-Aware for the spyware crap.I'm looking for something to run all and every day like Norton.
