Barb I use AVG Antivirus, it's a free antivirus package which has served me well for maybe 3-4 years. Recommended.

Yes, you need something else too. I use Norton and am very satisfied with it.

I use NAV and have for several years. Guess I think if I have to pay for it, it is better! Although, I know that is not true. I use to use AVG and can't remember now why I stopped

No I don't Barb. I do use another application for eradicating other types of pests though (of the spyware variety) and that is Spybot: Search and Destroy. Don't forget to have a quality firewall installed also.

I use the Norton suite (yup, bought and paid for, like you, KG),
and Adaware and ewido (freebies) to beef up the anti-adware and anti-spyware,
which I've been told are not Norton's strong suits. 
My computer savvy friend suggested NOT to use an additional anti-virus program
along with Norton as they can, apparently, be incompatible.

Ok......That is the question ZUZU
I am wondering if one collides with the other. I had those 2 and one was stopping the other all the time....I quit all.
Now am wonder if I really need one besides Postini.
