Right, look as if we'll just have to wait until the licence is renewed then.
My Norton Quickscan showed no new threats and I ain't doing a long scan as I'd die before it finished and it tends to get bogged down and go into a loop anyway!

Norton is a resource hog, always has been. Go with Avast, it's free.
Ta mate, our Norton is up for renewal in about a fortnight's time so the last thing I want to have to do is to buy another one from guess who, (high street store), we always get the competitor each time we change.
Will check it out "Avast there me hearties"!

Oops! according to https://www.quora.com/Is-Avast-a-safe-free-antivirus-program-and-is-it-good
Avast is now itself Malware! So I think I'll stick to paying for one of the trad ones! Also I don't have a Mac.

I've been using free Avast for years and never had any issues with it.

Everything that bloke said in his reply is wrong. Also, it's amazing how many NASA engineers are on the interwebz. NASA's wage bill must account for about 95% of the US GDP.

I have Ubuntu as a dual boot on this rig. Don't use it nearly as much as I used to. Best thing about most Linux distros is they'll run on two resistors and a piece of string where Windows will bsod if the wind changes direction.
I'm a Ubuntu fan too. If you've only got a small/old setup then you can customise it to fit your needs
Oh and AV is much less of an issue if you know what you're about

Mate of mine that does tech support for a major corp once told me, "the only people that pay for anti virus are those that need it".
Well, seeing as you guys lost me after about the first two words I'll wait until my resident IT auditor (retd) wifey returns from her weekend with the gurlz and see what she thinks, although she hates Windows with a vengeance and thinks its all carp. She is an Apple girl. Should have called her Eve!
