@ ej: it was Norton 2009 bro and it did work fine. i didn't even notice nga bugat siya. aside from it being an internet firewall, it also detects bugs from other plug-in devices such USB drives, etc.

@kazki: What do you recommend bro? right now, I have uninstalled norton, installed Kaspersky internet security 2010(just an official 30 day trial I downloaded to observe how it works before purchasing a 1 year subscription). So far I'm not quite impressed by it. After installing, I updated it right away and it took a while. When you hit the update button it resets the download progress back to 0.

I am having a bit of a decision making dilemma right here, so I want to hear your thoughts.

The Norton Internet Security 2009 in my Pavilion PC just expired 5 days ago and I am caught in between buying a counterfeit version or downloading a renewal of the said software online. There's so much difference between the price of both but I am also putting reliability into consideration.

So what do you think?

Also I want to know if anyone has already tried purchasing any software from Norton ASPAC website and was there any hidden charges?

Another thing is, do you think buying a PHP 1,360.00 for a year of protection practical enough?

Thanks ahead for your ideas!!! I appreciate them!

Well, if buying the licensed AV software will give you peace of mind, then spending a Php 4.0/day for a year is practical. IMO, there are lots of AV software out there (and some are FREE) but you can't really expect to be given 100% security. Personally, i use AVG 8.5 (free edition). I know since its free, there are features lacking but i've never had any virus/malware problems since i used it. Security/protection of the system is also the user's responsibility.

using nod32 along w/ spybot - seek and destroy and ad-aware.

gina pa run ra nko spybot - s&d og ad-aware once every week or pag naa ko bago gi download or gipansak na usb.

nod32 i got illegally, spybot and ad-aware are both free.

Yeah, I am considering 4.00PHP/day is not bad.

@ jjones: yes you need to have an accnt to order sa amazon, pwede rman ka mo email if u decide to purchase it. daghan mn ka kapilian ask lng if mkasend ba cla sa code...LNCP mn to nga seller.

kna imong gi download nga trial don't expect full version ana. basic rana.

better go legit bro. i used norton before and mas ok jud kung licensed copy kay complete sa updates and naa support.

usik lang ni cya ug money if you really get a license one... kay i had use a norton nga security software but wa jud gamit... nasudlan pa hinuon ko ug viruses and malwares... i thought lig on cya nga software kai dugay na raba cya but as I tested it, wa jud au... and when I tried to search some reviews on the top security softwares wa jud cya maka top 1-3... naa cya sa top 5-10.... so karon lain na ako gamit and its really useful kai delete daun sa virus like downloads....
