9 Answers
hi guys,
my norton anti virus software is due to expire in two days. i am just wondering what is the best free antivirus software out there?
im starting to panic!
if i do find a free anti virus software should i remove my norton anti virus before i install my new free one
oh and if i download avg 6.0 or version 7.0 will this interfere with my zonealarm firewall?
thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Having 2 anti-virus programs on a PC is usually a recipe for disaster. Uninstall Norton and download AVG 7.0. It gets along fine with Zone Alarm. (Well, they work fine together on my PC and I know several others who use this combination but please don't hold me responsible if they start fighting each other on your machine!).

I know that if you reinstall it, it will tell you that it expires in 1 year. I just made a phone call to check on it and i was told that norton codes thier installation cd's now so that they know when it was first installed after your first update. So in other words, you will continue to get 2004 updates only. Sorry to mislead you on my first post. But like i said, most of the time two security programs will conflict if they are both used at the same time. Also if you use an updated norton, make sure that the other is deleted or uninstalled if it doesnt do it by its self.
I didn't say that ZA was NO good, just that there are better. ZA seems more inclined to conflict with Windows Updates and various other software, especially p2p software.
In particular, it can tend to lead to corrupt downloads when using, for example, DC++
Type "zonealarm" and "conflict" into google.
