Hi,

After much research around the web, i've decided to get norton 2009 to protect my laptop. Basically it's leaner and quicker than the competition and has decent problem recognition.

My question is, should I get the 2009 Internet Security suite, or just go for the 2009 Antivirus? I know the suite has a firewall as an extra, but would this conflict with the built-in firewall in Vista? i.e. Will it be more hassle than it's worth?

Thanks for any advice.
I should have really emphasised this point - I have already decided to get Norton 2009! I don't need 20 answers recommending 20 different antivirus software!
I was just wondering if the firewall in Norton will conflict with the firewall in vista, and cause me hassle?
Thanks.
Also, in several recent tests, Norton 2009 is faster than most competitors. It's not the resource hog it used to be.

Norton isn't good get AVG free home edition
It's at filehippo.com

I run 2 firewalls, just keep them at moderate level as to not stop vids buffering through etc.

I wouldn`t use either, had them and tried them. They use to many system resources. Why buy,when there are some Great Free ones out there.

These AV`s are all free and good. I prefer AVG, been using it for 3 years with no problem.
