Antivirus Program Suggestions
This is on a family PC, one that my wife and kids use. I have Norton but I'm considering changing, Norton does seem to be a bit demanding on my PC. Any thoughts or input?

Ones I'm considering are:
Nod32 (Wasn't familiar with this one but seems to be popular)
AVG
Avast

TIA

I personally prefer Trend Micro's Pc-Cillin. It's the only program I've liked. Norton's Symantic AV is too much of a memory hog.

Nod32 is great if you want to pay for it.

AVG is a great and free anti virus. Its not the best, but its free and fraknly I've never had a virus since I've had it (well, I dont know of any time I've ever had one so, and that's with various checks from other programs also).

I'd say Nod32 if you're willing to pay, AVG if not.

Another nod to AVG. Been running it for years with no problems. Norton sucks. Everything they do.
