Just for the record, I don't use a free doctor, and I don't use a free anti-virus program. Norton Internet Security Suite serves be very well. I also carry good car and homeowners insurance and have used both on rare occasion.
Along the same lines, if the AV app offers a free and paid versions, why trust the paid version as the free app uses the same AV engine code base?
BTW, back in early 2000, the only time my system was breached with a virus was when I was running Norton System Suite. The malware erased my system hard drive. Not to mention that Norton was heavy on PC resources, and nearly impossible to cleanly uninstall.
Switched over to free anti-virus protection, AVG at that time, and have never had any of my systems taken down since.
Norton has made vast improvements since those days, and now rated among the top of paid AV apps.
why trust what they give away free. when they do have a paid version, they know the worth of the "free" version
