If you live in Californa maybe you should convert to Macintosh instead? Its a Californian company, and they have no viruses at all.
I've used several of the antiviruses listed above and i can say that kaspersky really deserves its 1st place. however it has compatibilty issues with other spyware or firewall programs. i used it with spy doctor and it used to block action from the spy program. so i switched to NOD32. good antivirus as well.
You use Norton! Its like the worst one, it always asks for evereything, a good antivirus software should know whats bad without asking for permissions.
And it makes the computer slow.
I suggest you use Nod32, or install Linux instead to not havign to have an anti virus at all.
