Norton or Trend

Afternoon all..

Recently bought a new PC - it came with Trend PC-Cillin antivirus, free. The three-month free antivirus updates is about to expire.

My question is - are Trend as reliable as Norton (and therefore is it worth renewing the updates from them?)?
Or.. am I better off getting Norton Antivirus?

Anyone got any views on this?

Fletchers Left Boot,

You will find Trend Micro's PC-cillin Internet Security every bit as good as Norton and it uses less CPU cycles than Norton.

Take Care,

Richard
