While Nortans' Internet Security is nice, and very configurable...

I would NOT suggest running Norton Antivirus unless you absolutly must.

Norton AV is a hack of a program, only protecting you PC from the most basic of virus attacks and is always out of date with virus definitions other then the most heard of viruses...

I'd suggest using Panda Antivirus, and would say its almost 'needed' if you decide to use an 'Outlook' style email client.

My reasons include:

- Panda is just as user friendly, if not more so, then Norton.
- Panda has processor/memory load balancing so that its background scans don't hurt performance as much
- Panda always has the ability to detect between 2000 and 4000 more virus types then Norton
- Panda is able to both detect and 'fix/remove' many viruses that Norton can only detect
- Panda has better intergration/protection with Outlook/Exchange
- Panda commonly scans and updates quicker then Norton AV on the same system
- Panda Platinum (FULL) is FREE to IT professionals (or at least it was)


Just to name a few reasons...
