As always when it comes to questions like this, it's a matter of
opinion, and opinions differ. Here's my opinion: Norton is far and
away the *worst*, not only of those three, but of all anti-virus
programs. I strongly recommend *against* Norton Anti-Virus, or
anything else Norton.

Regarding Avast and AVG, I personally prefer Avast, but some people
prefer AVG.

Re: Avast,Norton or AVG???

What is "better" is purely objective.

Norton tries to do too much for the user (read as bloat), but
probably has the better detection history. I have used both
AVG and Avast! and highly recommend them. You also
might want to check out Antivir - Its detection rating is
rumored to be one of the better ones recently. I used an
earlier version of it also, and would recommend it even
if not for the recent glowing reports.

All but Norton above offer free versions - and I *like* free. )

Not Norton! I like AVG, but Avast! does a very good job as well. Norton
is probably the worse of the bunch.

I prefer AVG. I would rather go without one than use Norton. Cheers.
