Which computer protection package is the best?

I've always depended on Norton but lately have found it to be letting me down. The slightest virus and Norton gets disabled. Now I have to reinstall it but can't be bothered with it now as it shouldn't have been able to be switched off by something.





Anyway, no harm done but so many products to chose from arn't there?





What would you recommend?|||Nod 32 Anti Virus best,not the cheapest but has the highest proactive detection %26amp; lowest false positives of any AV very light on system resources non intrusive updates to latest version for free unlike Norton ,McAfee,Kaspersky etc.|||"McAfee Security Center" is the best protection package for your pc.
