Norton 360

[westie]

I have a sony Vaio laptop with Windows 8 and Norton 360 which has  nearly expired. Is it worth renewing or is Windows 8 Security  sufficient? What advice can you give me please.

AVG is very good & free for Anti-virus http://free.avg.com/gb-en/homepage . I'm not so up to speed on how good Win 8 Firewall & security in general is though.

Sounds like its pretty good in general though reading this article..

Throw this (Norton, AVG, whatever) away unless you browse some dodgy web sites.

I have just Windows Defender installed on my machines (comes with Windows) and had not encountered any problem at all since then.

Thanks for your reply. I'm now weighing up the pro and cons from the advice received. Westie.
