i have norton and have nasty virus. looks like some f*king russinas broke in. date reset, history was cleaned but not entirely. bad job, mate. norton shows nothing :-( whenever i highlight text, looks like it is copied somewhere as highlighting gets interrupted every copule of seconds. changed all my passwords and set pc not to remember. i wish i could get some old pc with access to 3 sites only. All these service that run all the time... must be 10+ spies looking at what i do at all times...

Do NOT attempt to run more than one antivirus. I had Norton years ago, and when I removed it, it took a big chunk of Windows with it. OUCH!
Norton is the biggest pile of trash on the planet. Norton people simply did not keep pace with evolving security. The best results I ever had was when I switched to Kaspersky Antivirus. These guys are THE best. And right now they are in the news for discovering most sophisticated government Trojan program on the Planet. world's most complex computer spy virus The virus was discovered by a Russian security company that specialises in malicious computer code. It made the 20 gigabyte virus available to other researchers yesterday (Monday), claiming that it did not fully understand its scope and said its code was 100 times the size of the most malicious software. Kaspersky Labs said the program appeared to have been released five years ago and had infected machines in Iran, Israel, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. "If Flame went on undiscovered for five years, the only logical conclusion is that there are other operations ongoing that we don't know about," Roel Schouwenberg, a Kaspersky security senior researcher, said. http://www.vancouversun.com/technol...ost+complex+computer+virus/6691435/story.html
similar situation here. my norton 360 is about to expire and it's $80 to renew. i renewed it once before, but am thinking of going with a free antivirus like avast.
Eset NOD32 gets mentioned a lot here. I have used it for years and still do. It supposedly has one of the smallest memory footprints and best zero-day protection.
