Not a clue. Have you looked into Microsoft Essentials? While I loathe (take that Gene Lasker) MS, this product came highly recommended. And free it is.

Getting Norton for any price is too much.

I use either Free AVG or avast, which is also free for home use. They don't have the bells and whistles, but I have never been infected with anything, which is what matters.

I recommend Webroot Spy Sweeper + antivirus (as advertised on Sirius :D) I have used it for two years - no problems - works on vista and windows 7

stay away from norton/mcaffee products - it's proven your computer runs 40% slower on average when running either companies anti virus

I just ran a complete scan with avast, it took about 4 minutes. Has resident protection as well as scheduled scans. Doesn't have a lot of user bells and whistles, but look at the ratings for it. One of the top always. Free AVG is also good. Ran that for yrs, never an issue.
