I have finally had enough of Norton (100 days left) and need to do something else. I want to uninstall it using the add/remove...Reboot...Then use the Norton uninstall tool...(Norton 2012 was added to 2011)...Reboot and then use CCleaner. I have used AVG free and ZoneAlarm free and also used both of the paid pro versions in the past. They do not seem to get along and the reviews I have read on AVG 2012 suggests that there are many new problems.
I have heard that anything from Avast and Avira free are good, but I also need a firewall. Zone Alarm has usually been good, but a little bloated like Norton and some anti virus will not recognize Z/A. I do not mind if I have to pay for a complete security suite, but I could use some suggestions on something besides Norton or Webroot. I know nothing about Kaspersky or Trend Micro.
I do not go to high risk sites. I also have Netcraft installed to give me a little insight of potential danger. My computer needs are mostly for email and banking, credit cards etc., using temporary account numbers for each transaction.
Any and all advice from the professionals in this room would be appreciated. I have a Dell Dimension 4500 desktop, XP-SP3 and I use mostly Firefox. My Verizon connection is 15 over 5, if this would make some difference for the need of a free or stronger paid version. Might even be going back to dial up if Verizon carries through with their threat for a 50% increase in my monthly bill. Sorry for the long email and thank all of you in advance for any help.
