I'm looking to get a different one

symantic anti-virus (not norton antivirus), its lightweight and not overbloated like norton antivirus.

seems the one i have is discontinued but was replaced with this:

http://www.symantec.com/business/produc ... ion_SEPSBE

still not too expensive, 23-35 a license or something, not sure what the minimum is.

another option could be norton internet security which is only like $40
doesnt seem overbloated like NAV but i run it on win7 dual core pcs so wouldnt know on other machines.

I work in the industry, and Kaspersky Anti-Virus is one of the best out there. They have the highest catch rate.
