[xl · Accepted solution]

Some thoughts...

• I like Norton for an antivirus.  As a paid service, they take malware protection seriously and update their malware signatures several times a day.  Oh look they have "editor's choice" in tests.

• are you happy with just virus projection?  What about a software firewall to keep out hackers?  I like Norton Internet security.

• Norton has been branching out to performance tuning features.  Norton 360 can regularly scrub for temporary files and clean your registry for a little more.

• Do you own a tablet or smartphone (iOS/Android)?  Consider 360 multi device that can give protection to FIVE devices!

• Look closely, did you notice some products can be installed on more than one machine.  Suddenly annual protection can be very affordable.
• do you use public wifi a lot?  Consider SurfEasy VPN to encrypt your activities from data eavesdroppers.  Available for one device or five devices!

• do you have a virus already? I hear this is a popular product.  I haven't needed it.... yet.... as I have been using Norton.

Do you have home wifi?

• WPA2 encryption
• SSID suppression
• MAC filtering
• disable file and print sharing if you don't need it.

Do you own an iOS device or Mac computer?  Keep your software updated.  It appears Apple has not been encrypting data when they should be....  SHAME!
