I have AVG on our other computer, but it has allowed it to get two viruses, 
and so I tend to trust Norton, which has never (yet) let me down more.

How do they find Norton troublesome. The only beef I have with it is that 
its customer service SUCKS! It is so hard to contact them, or to get them to 
contact me, that I have always ended up giving up and solving the problem 
myself (which is what they want, I suppose!).
