Question
Hi Lorry, my name is Marte Hernandez and really so confuse about to witch anti virus is the best for me and my family, I already try with Norton and I catch a virus to cost me $100 to can remove, my choices for now are: AVG Security, Trend micro Sec. or eset. My daughter 9 year old, some times navigate in Internet, so I need some one really good.
Thanks for your time, I'm really appreciate.

Answer
Hi Marte,

Let me start off by saying no matter which AV program you use, there are two very important things to do. One is keep it up to date and the other is to run a full scan once a week. BTW, I've used Norton for 12 years now and have yet to get a virus.

Norton AntiVirus is one of the best paid for programs, which you can usually save money on the second time you purchase it by looking for a sale price with a rebate for previous owners - by doing that, you will get it for free or darn close to it.

AVG and Avast are two good free programs available at:

Hope this helps!
