I swear by norton. If you MUST get the defs. for free then you have to completdly uninstall Norton AntiVirus and then re-install it to get another year for free. I don't think it is worth it, as it really ends up taking an hour+ to be sure you got rid of it all and to reinstall, and then go through several reboots while it rebuilds your defs etc. It is either $11 or $17 for a whole year. You want to spend an hour and a half of no fun to save $17 a year? Maybe you shouldn't own a computer.
