WHICH ANTIVIRUS SHOULD I INSTALL FOR MY HP/COMPAQ LAPTOP?

KasperSky, definitely.

Norton is not all it's cracked up to be.

Norton is a bit weak with the security for software about a couple years ago, if I recall correctly. Personally, I don't use an anti-virus program because to me it IS a virus. It hogs resources and slows everything down, but you're trying to prevent a virus that slows everything down and hogs resources? Seriously, come on now... Just make sure you have Windows Firewall on, with reasonably recent Windows Updates, and you should be fine-- unless you want to install all weird stuff and pirate software, then, by all means, get something good. I'd go with free, like AVG, if I had to use something.

AND REMEMBER, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART:

Any security software is only as good as the latest update. So updating often is the KEY to good security!!!

Oh, and 1 more thing. How you use the computer is the biggest factor. Don't open e-mails (specifically, don't show the pictures) for e-mails from any unknown sources. It's complicated, but trust me.

Thanks for the questions...Any antivirus either norton,dr solomon,avira,kaspersky,mcafee, or any type of brand is Good when its updated.The world ranking best Antivirus is Norton Antivirus.The program is heavy.Depends on your Laptop performance.Kaspersky its still new in market place..

KasperSky because my mom put it on her laptop and it found 2 threats that Norton did not.

hope I helped

Norton Antivirius

Norton and McAfee are resource hogs and not worth the money. There are several free options that work great. If you want an "install it & forget it" anti virus then try Panda Cloud http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/ You won't have to worry about any kind of configuring and it works very, very well.

If you want something that has more user options available then look at...

Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

or

AVG: http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Editi...

McAfee is not a resource hog, maybe if all the extras are installed. I only install the Anti-Virus and the Firewall, that is all you need. All the other stuff they have for you to install maybe where people are having problems.

Norton 3.0, It's more compatiable and it allows you to **** in the car without making a mess

i use kaspersky. it rocks, doesn't give me any problems. does what it is supposed to do. norton didn't do it for me, keeps bugging you with "Do you really want to give this Program permission". ......YES IM INSTALLING IT AREN'T I........ I also heard good story's about NOD32, but Im sticking with kaspersky for now.
