"I use Trend Micro. A much "leaner" program that catches things Norton does not, and it doesn't try to take over your computer."

Roger that- I did the same thing. Norton also eats up a ton of system resources, drops .dll files all over your system and their utility package causes more issues than it resolves. Now that it looks like Trend Micro is going to start charging to upgrade on a yearly basis in order to continuing updating your definitions; I'm considering going over to that AVG free anti-virus. Anyone got any feedback on whether the freebie solution is solid? Can you have it automatically download and install updates invisibly in the bacground on a daily basis?

LOL guess I should have read the entire thread before posting, as I see my question is answered many times above. Looks like it's AVG for me as soon as Trend Micro asks for more money to continue updating virus definitions.
