What is the best internet security software other than norton

AVG,MAC,Avast,AntiVir.

AVG has never let me down, and I even prefer it over Norton.

I use Avast

I find AVG is the best...

THERE ARE LOTS OF BETTER STUFF THAN NORTON,I LL GO FOR BITDEFENDER TOTAL SECURITY,KESPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY,MCAFEE,AVG PROFESSIONAL.THESE ARE THE BEST RUNNING THESE DAYS

IN FREEWARE:-AVAST,AVG ARE THE GOOD CHOICE

AVG 8 and it is free

Don't listen to the rest.

The answer is ESET.

http://www.eset.com/

the ones I use are free, they run their own scans, update and delete the virus all by themselves. Once setup you never have to touch them again:
AVG 8.0
Spybot search & destroy 6.1
add to the mix
Glary Utilities which is a registry repair
I find I need very little else except this new one :
Malwarebytes for the new virus2009

SPAM
Type in Spam in the search box in the upper right hand corner- new page opens with a list of 5 page, on page 3 you should find this program Spamihilator (2000/XP/2003/Vista 1.08MB) click download, new page opens, watch for yellow bar at top as you may have to click to allow to start download. Click saves to desktop or my documents. Then click run to open.

Or to http://www.snapfiles.com and to their freeware section to find other software also.
(Can only run one virus program at a time on a PC but you may have as many spyware programs as you wish as long as you run only one at a time, and only one firewall)
A GREAT FREE ONE IS ZONE ALARM FOUND AT www.snapfiles.com under the freeware section, personal firewalls.
Also found at snap files, are Defragmentation Tools - there are several programs to choose from
I recommend you check them out as the one that comes with XP does not always do the best job.

Another little great tool for you is go to Google or Yahoo: One of the best pieces of FREE software there is today that will show you what is on your computer is known as: Belarc once it is downloaded you simply run and time you wish to see what is installed on your PC, from OS to Model, hardware, software, hot fix’s and the Keys to software on PC. This makes it a valuable program in that you can run it every so often and print off and save for you keys if for no other reason.

***
Note:
It is wise to only run one virus program at a one time but run as many spyware as you like, only run them one at a time, other wise they will conflict with each other, it is good to have more than one as each will find some thing the other did not. Uninstall any other program as they may conflict such as Norton, MacAfee etc.

The only one this list that runs in safemode F8 is AVG anti-spyware, which does work great in safemode.
Also wise thing to do is to run the virus & spyware program once without internet connection and then again with internet, as some times the virus will try to block program other wise when internet is running.

This list has been drawn up by me and designed by me and is not copied from anywhere as it has been suggested, please feel free to use as much as you like, and I hope it helps in some way.

Comodo and AVG. Avoid McCaffee and Norton.

Anything, I hate Norton. Been using AVG for some time and they're pretty good

definatley agv free

How about a good free one with antivirus and an excellent bi-directional firewall? Comodo Internet Security.

I would say Kespersky Internet Security

i use Clamwin and it's pretty good

trend micro is pretty good

Personally, I go with Avira, Spybot Search and Destroy, and the firewall my buddy set up on our home LAN.

McAfee 100%

ESET NOD32 any day
