I'm pretty sold on Norton Anti-virus but they have so many products I don't know which one to get. I have five computers on my home network and need to protect them all.
1. Which Norton product do I buy?
2. Do I hafta buy five packages or is there some way to get a quantity break (what do small companies buy)?
Thanks

I used Norton Anti-Virus for several years and I always had problems with it "getting along" with other applications. I have also heard from others who had the same problems. I recently switched to McAfee and so far I love it. Just my $.02.

If you are just using it at home and want good antivirus use either trend micro or avg. AVG can be had at www.grisoft.com I think both have free home versions. Norton is good but very resource intensive. If you don't have a fast system you will have a SLOW system.

I'll second the AVG. The email scanning is great, makes you feel good knowing your mailis going out with that little virus-free tag at the bottom.
