Norton Antivirus Download for free?
8 Answers
Hi, I recently bought a new computer and want to download Norton Antivirus onto it. The computer has XP so I had a look on Google for sites where I could download it for free, pretty much all of the sites where I look say 15 days free trial then $49.99 after that... Can anyone tell me where to download Norton for free, for XP, or recommend any other good Antivirus programs I can download for free? Thanks in advance =)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've had norton antivirus and found it very cumbersome and obtrusive on my pc. I also know of ppl who have bought it and then changed to a free one which is far better. Norton is very hard to get rid of on a pc once installed.. registry is full of crap.
I recommend AVG anti virus (free version) from http://www.grisoft.com .. I also have AntiVir which is also free and available from http://www.free-av.com (it was recommended to me by a pc techie).

I hate to disagree with people but I subscribed to Norton and last year when my subscription ran out, decided to get a free program and stop paying.
I installed AVG which caused me nothing but trouble with my e-mail and all sorts. Ended up deleting AVG (which I haven't actually managed to do properly, i still get error messages coming up and it won't let me remove what is left of the program) and going back to Norton - I was quite happy to pay after the nightmare I had with AVG.
Melissa83, there are loads of P2P sites that you can download Norton from, but it will be an illegal copy, and I am not sure if you would be able to get the automatic updates on an illegal copy.I have tried AVG before, and like Sammy Snake I had email problems.I purchased Norton online from PC World and it cost me about �25.Well worth the investment.
...with my new computer (3yrs old now) Norton stuff was preloaded and free for one year.....I now have to pay 45 pounds a year to keep the anti virus and firewall up to date, Neverthless I feel it is good value as I have never had any problems....commoner...As far as I am concerned Illegal software is a no no..............
get a cracked version of nortan from a P2P program called limewire. Free version available at www.limewire.com
OMG, Limewire is slow and full of spyware. A lot of the downloads are corrupt, don't work or aren't as described.
I've had no problems with AVG. Have you tried AntiVir from http://www.free-av.com ?
