Hi all,

I've been a fan of Norton for the past 6 years but after several system
problems with 3 installs of NIS 2005, I'm beginning to lose faith. Anyone
recommend a good alternative that is stable and more importantly, does the
job ? Anyone have anything good/bad to say about Kaspersky, Sophos or AVG ?
TIA.

Regards Colin.
