Or your renewal details? If the former, it might be an issue with their payment processing system. Of course as a customer, you expect things to work :-)

I like AVG[^]. It's free, and it works just fine, I haven't had any problems with it. Cheers, Fredrik

Norton Antivirus is one of the best solutions in the Antivirus software , but it slows down the machine too much. So if you want high performance and not bad virus detection i'd suggest you to use Kaspersky Antivirus Personal 5 or even better, EsetNod32.

I disagree in that case: the antivirus companies spend more and more money for updating their virus definitions. So, is it not fair to pay them for it? I think so. Also you do not buy the program every year, you pay the definitions support for another year. In Symantec's case it's only about 35 Euros. I for my part never had any virus nowadays and am pretty happy with NAV :-) Regards Mathias

I'm happier with the AVG free version (that I use at home) than I am with Norton that they installed on my machine at the office. For a licensed version of AVG, the fee is very reasonable.

We just moved to NOD32 here at work. We used to use McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, but the licensing fees for 100+ users just went up 50% for this next year. Our IT guys decided to look at other alternatives. I actually like the NOD software because it also looks at Spyware and Trojans when you browse.

It really offers very good protection and does not eat much resources.
