for free antivirus computer associates has a free year
and it's just as good as Norton(I think it's better)also
comes with free year firewall too(if you choose the lite
virsion.Here i'll get it for you.

/antivirus.aspx
choose the free year CA...It's really good,all you need
is an E-Mail address for them to send you the link and
pass code to.Also you will need to delete the Norton,they
have a removale tool on the page they send to your E-
Mail.I've been telling my family and friends about it,and
they all thank me for it.Save them some bucks and protect
their computer.
