    Unless you work in a bussiness, or you have lots of PC friends, dont waste money on it.

    Well, as long as you dont get a gazillion spam mails, or go to 100 porn sites a day, you should be fine.

    Do you use MS Office? Do you exchange MS Office documents with other people? If yes, then get Norton AV 10. If not, then don't.
