    Default Decent anti virus?

    I had Norton 360 on my laptop for 2 years and have basically cracked the shits with it after I realised if you don't renew the subscription every year, you loose functionality of the entire program, even the defrag stuff.

    Well fark that, they can get farked and their program runs like shit as well.

    I'll prob just use Windows Defender and their own defrag and diagnostic stuff, but can anyone recommend a decent anti virus/firewall package?

    Thanks guys,

    I went and got the Kaspersky Internet Security package.

    They all had good reviews but it wasn't that much extra for the internet security pack which also comes with anti virus, $50 a year compared to the $100 a year for poxy Norton 360.

    Cheers
