Zeus - I'm not sure but I think it's a firewall.
3051 - yeah, but surely you'll become infected before you'll know about it. At least Norton will notify you when you get a virus immediately. I have Norton AV on all the time, and can say it's been a great help.

please, please, please, please don't buy norton. during the schoolyear i work at my uni's helpdesk and you wouldn't believe (a) how many problems it causes (b) what a vast range of computer problems simply vanish as soon as you uninstall it.
if you buy mcafee online, you can install it (not legally, of course) on as many computers as you want, and still get upgrades etc through them. avp from kaspersky labs is also pretty good, most likely because those russian geniuses write all the viruses themselves.

Norton are stupid... my dad foolishly bought Norton Anti Virus, but now they say our version is too old for the updates, so a newer Norton must be bought - even though we've still got months on our updates agreement thingymajig.
Installed AVG now...

Can you be specific on what kind of problems it causes? I'm running Norton firewall and AV and it does what it has to, stop any virus from intruding and it seems to work without a hassle.

ok - info -
internet security is anti-virus & firewall. but its so badly written (i.e. wiindows type updates that don't really work) - AVOID
please look further. mcaffee etc or ANY other brand.

won't it screw up your ability to play it back loudly for your lurvely neighbours?
I mean, I don't know about computers 'n things. that's YOUR department.
I think I'll pass on Mike Confield, fearing it'll screw up my abilities.
