Norton Internet Security 2008..

[Pilgrim]

Just a word of warning, although AVG is a very good anti-virus you will probably find that your 'System restore' will not work. I removed mine because of this and now just use Zonealarm antivirus and firewall, it is very good!

Thanks for that tip Pilgrim. I'm quite interested in AVG but as I do regular internet banking I'm concerned whether AVG will give me the protection that I have from Nortons I'net Security. Prior to NIS 2007 I had just the Norton Anti Virus & used the Windows firewall as well as SpyBot etc. Decisions, decisions!

That is really strange, because I have used AVG + ZoneAlarm for years and have no problem whatsoever with system restore.

Ive used system restore many times and Ive had AVG for 4 years no prob. Kate look at the other thread on here about Nortons - Suejmog just downloaded AVG and it immediately found a virus her Nortons had missed.

I have Norton 2006 and I couldn't do a system restore. I googled to see if I could find a solution. I did, I had to untick something temporarily and did the SR and then reticked whatever it was. All was well afterwards.

When I renewed Norton, I went through Quidco and got money back.

Decision was finally made for me by OH who was tired of hearing my indecision & waffling about various A/V options. A local discount retailer has a special promo offer on Norton Internet Security 200 plus $50 cashback redemption so as OH was in the store for something else he bought the Norton. I'm amazed as I didn't think he was listening most of the time. At a cost of just AU$28 I'll go with it for another year.

Earlier on this thread, Val said "yes most would recommend AVG the free one is fine ,but dont forget to uninstall Norton first".

Can I ask why you can't have more than one anti virus / spy software loaded and operating at the same time ? What one doesn't pick up, the other one might.

[Val wish Id never started]

hi that was me said that, AVG is only a anti virus not a spyware if you load it you will also need a firewall like zonealarm ,I have spybot and adaware also .
I am not really sure why you cannot have two anti virus soft ware running at the same time but its not compatible ,and no you wont find what one does not pick up the other will, because they wont work well together.
Maybe somebody will come along and explain why ?? good luck

Simon - you should find your answer here
Can I run more than one anti-virus program? Anti-spyware program? Firewall? Should I? - Ask Leo!
