marcusgrant Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The Norton anti virus software on my laptop is about to expire.

IDGM Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I used to use AVG until the last update to 9 (I think) made our machines behave very oddly or fail to boot up. Going back to 8 sorted it out.Nowadays, I use Avast at work and seem to be OK with things. At home, I use Virgin Media's own software.
