Internet Security Recommendations

by jimothy_183 Dec 31, 2008 3:15PM PST

Hello,

Is there anyone here that can recommend a good Internet Security as my current one is nearing it's expiry date.

Currently I am using Norton which I don't like because it's to heavy on the system although I have heard that the new one is a lot more efficient.

I have also tried using Trend Micro's 2008 IS but I think it's worse than Norton 2008 in that it goes through all your processes and can cause some serious lag when playing PC games. I do however, like the fact that it gave good protection. Does anyone know if Trend has fixed this problem with their new IS? Although I have read on the CNET review of the new Trend Micro that the normal version has only the basics in terms of functionality.


So, recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

jimothy
