Can anyone suggest a top rated internet protection? I am searching for a new Antivirus/Firewall Software, I find myself steering clear of McAfee and Norton due to their popularity; your help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

I have used the free AVG version on all five laptops in the house for the past few years and we've yet to have any problems (knock knock).

Very happy Avast user here, for several years. Had Norton years ago but it was a system hog.
