    if you can afford to pay around Rs.1500 then mcafee is unbeatable, as it comes with a personal firewall too. norton is not bad but is heavy on the system.

    if you want something for free blindly go for avg. download from www.grisift.com

    AVG is the best.
    It dosn't hog on ur system resources, easy 2 update.
    Norton takes time to update.
    Go 4 AVG. Only drawback is no firewall. Apply SP2 or if u want a much stronger firewall go 4 Zonealarm. I am happy wid it.

    My suggestion is Norton AntiVirus 2004. It's the most reliable one.
