Are those the only 3 choices? All AV programs only give minimal protection due to the lag time between the day a virus is released & the day the AV companies add it to their dat files. Locking the registry stops all viruses from entering a PC. However, it doesn't stop scripts.

Absolutely Norton is the best choice (in my opinion), most secured, most updated and most effective AV.

I'm a little leary of this panda AV, but that might just be because I've never used it. And anything that ships "free" trial versions as bloatware with new computers is a loser in my book. I've played with kapersky a little bit in the past in an enterprise setting with their management server and remotely rolling it out to machines, but never really put it to the test. What I did do with it I liked though.

Norton causes more conflicts than any of them.

Norton for me...

Never had a problem once since I have had it.
The family pack is good value as we have 4 PCs dotted around.

Kaspersky for us. We did extensive testing with McAfee , Norton and Kaspersky. KAS had the smallest footprint in memory and consumed way less processing power than the others.
