Bang! Norton is dead

At 10am today, Norton Internet Security was executed for crimes against flanerie.

It has been replaced as Grand Vizier of laptop security by ZoneAlarm. Thanks to those who suggested it.

Initially I was going to use the free version of ZoneAlarm but then decided to pay for it. Why? Well, I think that basic software should be free for everyone. One way to help that come about is for some people to choose to pay those companies that offer a decent free version.

I guess that's software socialism combined with market forces.

So is it a lot better? Should I be getting rid of my Norton?

Keep your eye on www.eset.com.

They currently make the best antivirus (IMHO) and later this year are releasing the ubiquitous 'suite'.

It should blow Norton out of the water.
