  Free beats cashback any day of the week in my book.

    Yes, sorry alvian but I'm not aware of a single legitimate reason to buy any Norton product these days. There are better free alternatives and last time I used a Norton product it was an insane resource hog that constantly crashed and just generally made a nuisance of itself.

    Recently had 5 trojans/malware on my PC not detected by Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Have switched to Avast! Free which detected and cleaned them all.

    I wouldn't put too much faith in Microsoft's free solution…

      People seem to think that just because Microsoft can come up with good Office and OS software means they have good anti-malware.

      That is sadly not the case. Microsoft does not have as much experience in producing anti-viruses as Symantec or Avast. MSE might be no-frills and lightweight, but that's only because the protection it offers is fairly meagre as well.
