You might want to consider Panda. They have a complete internet security suite available commercially (which includes antivirus & a very good firewall) -- plus you can do a full in-depth virus scan of your entire system online for free. But be forewarned: the in-depth virus/spyware scan is very, VERY thorough -- and it can take a considerable amount of time to complete.
The commercial version of the software is much faster, of course. And it actually fixes the problems that it finds. The free online scan merely identifies problems -- it doesn't fix them.
Panda has caught several viruses & intrusion attempts for me -- including stopping spyware from being loaded onto my machine by various websites, etc.. Here's a look at a recent report.
The software keeps a low profile, memory wise. Which is a big plus to us 3D types.
Norton? What's that? Haven't used it in years..........
