Norton Security wants to charge like $50/yr for protection. Is this bogus?

I have it free for the next 27 days but then it's $$$. They say other antivirus companies only detect - not remove - viruses. I just want normal protection without fees. Have Windows Vista firewall. Never heard of any one paying for protection.

If you do not want to pay the price for Norton, there are plenty more AV and security apps out there.

aside from the cost, the norton suite is a notorious 'kernel' hooker which means that it attaches itself to the very core of windows: and windows does not like this, unless specifically allowed by microsoft; hence the warning about 'digital signing' you see when installing a 3rd party software in xp) (also which is why the 'vista' platform runs so poorly with driver issues: it blocks this behavior) and so, the system slows down.

so, go with AVG or avast!: both free %26 lightweight.
hey don't use norton at all use avg

Here is a list of good free antivirus programs http://www.basicspywaretips.com/freeviru...
Yeah, why should you pay for something you can get for free.. I have Vista, I'm using its firewall and using Avast antivirus. It detects the viruses and also removes them for free of charge if you are using it at home.
WE had norton long ago in a distant land. Some file in it got corrputed 20days before it expired and they wanted 70$ to re-install it. We now use BitDefender which seems to be good.
Get Tread Micro Internet Secerty Because Norton Does not support Windows Vista Because They don't have updates for it and your will get a virus get http://www.trendmicro.com/en/products/de...
ya rip off
AVG free %26lt;free.grisoft.com%26gt; and Avast free %26lt;avast4home.com%26gt; are excellent antivirus programs, and they don't just detect, they remove as well. Norton used to be a good product, but it's gotten so bloated it'll really slow down your computer.
So you want all of the people at Norton to work for you for free? Sorry. Nobody works for free.

Norton is a legit company with a legit product that works well.
Yes. it is VERY MUCH BOGUS !!! there are a lot of programs on the internet that do the exact same thing ! such as spybot search and destroy that gets rid of all your spyware and viruses !!! type that in on yahoo and download it for FREE !!!! =] and if you want to buy any protection I would most deff. fo with McAfee Security Center it works a+ GREAT FOR ME !!!

hope I answered everything you needed =]
