 I have been buying Norton Internet Security; it's free free after the
rebates. I recently bought the 2007 one. Comes with Partititon magic
and Ghosts which I never used. I think I'll use this one for my main
desktop which currently has 2006 version.

This year, I also got Noton Anti-virus that has 3 user license. It's
free after the rebate. I haven't used it yet.

Today, I got Panda. It anti virus and anti spyware, also has 3 user
license and so I am thinking to use it for my laptop , and for my
brother's laptop and my 2nd desktop. But should I use Norton instead?
But the one I have with 3 user license doesn't have anti spyware.

Is Panda any good?

How many people use Norton?

What other anti virus and anti-spyware is good? I did see one product
at Fry's that's for anti spyware only.I think it's ca or something
like that. I used to download spybot, etc. but haven't bothered woth
it for a while ever sicne I started using Norton Internet security.

 I used to use Panda after abandoning Norton years ago due to bloat. I had
several problems after a couple years of Panda and switched to Nod32.
Smaller and much less intrusive than either Norton or Panda. Works great
too. But I don't use any other features than antivirus anyway.

I also used Panda for a number of years and it is very good, if somewhat
cumbersome. I used it on 18 computers in my office but finally got tired of
reconfiguring all of them every time there was a major update. I switched
to NOD32 over a year ago and it works perfectly for my needs. Small, fast
and accurate and easy to work with. It is also highly recommended by all
the computer "experts" I respect. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the info. I should go look for Nod32 at Fry's. I am taking
Panda back to the store. Good thing I haven't opened the box yet.
