I am just looking around, and i thought it would be good to get one to do weekly scans because quite frankly Norton fails.

Any suggestions?

Norton pops up every day at 6:00, and not only does it do nothing, it also annoys me because I can't close it.

I, too, am in need of one.
Maybe there's some sort of windows scan...

@bigdaddyg
Is it free?

@Graham
If it's not free, never mind.
And I'm too lazy to.

@Ricador
Does it come with the computer?

@Brenda
Same question I asked Ricador.

There's something called Windows OneCare that I used to have, it seems to work pretty well. But like Norton, it likes to pop up a lot.
