Totally fed up with Norton 2007 - Need a better security package?

Twice in 3 months Norton has let me down and allowed spyware and a virus into my computer. All I get from tech dept is to download this and download that and see if that works. It never does. Last time I had to reset to factory settings to get rid of it and I may have to do the same again this time. Can someone recommend a good, reliable package please.

Join the club mate.



The following 5 are great to excellent.



Try a few out and see which one works best for you.



Personally, I like ZoneAlarm a lot.

I'm using Pest Patrol and since i changed from Norton i have not had a problem.



Over a year now and trouble free.



I had the same problems you did, so i have to say this one works well.
if you dont like NAV, go with microsoft live onecare?
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.
Get Zone Alarm Pro: http://www.zonealarm.com - I tested my firewall strength at "Shields Up" (www.grc.com) and I was full stealth = excellent protection.
