Anti virus

I've been running Norton anti-virus for the last couple of years - but the subscription has just run out and £30 (ye gods, that's 1½hrs flying for us microlight pilots) to renew seems only one step removed from daylight robbery. Plus I've been getting the increasing feeling that Norton uses up monstrous amounts of processing power and is causing the PC to run at about half the speed it should.


So, my personal decision has been to give up on Norton and switch to something called Panda Internet Security which when I browsed around the net seemed to get as-good or better reviews as Norton, as well as (after shopping around a bit) being £13 including postage.

But, out of curiosity (and hopefully to confirm or deny that I made a good decision) what is everybody else's view on the good, bad and ugly (and particularly value for money) of anti-virus software these days?
