Good to hear that you are satisfied with your Norton antivirus. To your question, the role of antivirus in your computer is to help protect your machine from being destroyed by these viruses and malwares. Well, I am currently using avira antivir personal classic edition. This can be downloaded free at www.free-av.com I have been using this software for almost two years. Since using it, I have never encountered any problems at all with regards to the overall function and system performance of my machine. Otherwise, I am so impressed, grateful, and satisfied with its performance. It updates regularly and can be scheduled any time you want. It is very light on resources and does not use a lot of memory. Hence, does not slow down your computer.
Have a nice day!

i use NOD32 which can be found here http://www.eset.com it is by far the best anti virus program ive ever used, i have used several different well known and not so well known anti virus programs including norton, infact i used norton from 2000 until 2005 as my primary anti virus program as well as using different anti virus programs on other computers for testing.
norton takes up a lot of resources and when it scans it really slows your computer down. other anti virus programs i found didnt always pick up viruses and had to format the computer(s) due to an infection of a virus. some anti virus programs bug you a lot asking do you want to allow this and do you want to allow that whichbugs me especially when i know what im doing and i get these things popping up often because i visit many different sites all the time.
nod32, as have many anti virus programs now have built in capabilities that firewalls have and thus not requiring a firewall aswell also you never need to do a full scan of your system every week or so like most anti virus programs do, it scans your system slowly, so not to take up resources and its constantly scanning your computer and all your files and all the pages you visit on the internet and all files that come in and out of your computer, updates are applied daily sometimes 2 to 3 times a day you get a box pop up saying its updatedthen it goes away.
anyway ifyour happy with norton fair enough, i was happy with it for many years but as things progressed it didnt seem as affective for me, but with me visiting totally different sites ona daily basis i like something thats working for me that i dont have to worry about and it wont bug me while im working, ive been using it almost a year now with no problems at all.

I'm using the Norton Antivirus 2005, for me is nice because is so much defensive and give one alert for any attack blocked. I run one scan very frequently because all the day i receive at least one attack! The registry updates are very frequently and for me is so good.
The only bad thing is the cpu that it takes, but for the rest nothing to say!
