Hi,

I have used AVG for many years and never a problem.
I also think Windows Firewall is good enough, but if you choose to use another, do not run them both.

Thanks to all for all the advice and help.
Yes I am sure that it says it's expired because there is a big red X on the Norton Icon. When I go and check the subscription it comes back and says it is not expired and will work again. I think I will look into the Avast program.
Isn't the Windows Firewall a good enough Firewall? If not, what is recommended?

Are you sure it has expired or it 'Will Expire', Norton usually starts warning you about 30 days in advance.

I am having "issues" with the Norton. Keeps telling me that my subscription is "expired" when it isn't. There "tech support (through email) can't figure it out? What would you recommend to replace it? I also use adaware, spybot, spywareblaster and Tune Up Utilities. I have rebates on the Norton so would only be out about 5 bucks.

Hi,

The first crap I'd get rid of is your Norton AntiVirus 2008
