I've got Norton on my machines (expires in about 40 years :) ) but any time I do an install on somebody else's machine, I like to keep things nice and legal. They get AVG, and I never get any complaints.

Thats the policy I follow in the forum and the room , and a good reason for letting folk know about freeware.

I use AVG here at work because, being a public institution, our hospital has no money to buy fancy stuff. The adminstrative bods insist that all installed software should be legal so it has to be a freebie. For the same reason I also use OpenOffice rather than M$ Office and find that, apart from lacking a database building proggy like Lotus Approach or M$ Access, it works beautifully. It uses it's own file types as well as M$ file types. I noticed, happily, that the OpenOffice files are about 4 or 5 times smaller than M$ ones. I also use OpenOffice at home under windows and under linux. Sorted.
