I assume that I indirectly started this conversation by saying that I like Norton 360. It's more than a virus program. It reminds me to back up and cleans up the junk on my computer and tunes it up. It keeps my passwords so I don't use the same one everywhere I go. (I am closer to 70 than to 65 and keeping up with passwords is a pain for me.) Norton offers suggestions on protecting my idenity, not just when I am on the computer, I started using computers on the intenet in 1996, a relative new-bee. I have have always used Norton. I have never had a virus and never had problems with it. Because I get usage for 3 computers for one price, I gift it to my daughter and my grandson. At 15, I am sure he goes to plenty of places on line that could end up with a virus. He obviously hasn't used it for as long as I have because he wasn't even born when I started going on line.

I can use all the help I can get, so I will download Avast to work along with Avira, if that is a good thing to do. Also, could you please let us know what you think of the MS Security Essentials program.
