I've been using Norton for years now and I'm wondering if there is something else better?

The makers of Diskeeper will Spam you to death if you register! But it does beat the snot out of Speed Disk.Layback Bear said:Norton is a hog for sure, but it works. I have been using it for years with no problems. I also use Diskeeper Pro and it also works great and is faster.

Kaspersky AntiVirus
Windows Built in Firewall
CCleaner(run it once a week, including the registry cleaner)
Adaware SE
Spybot Search and Destroy
Spyware Blaster
Microsoft AntiSpyware
(I update all of these weekly)
Combine these with the security of the most up to date version of Firefox, as well as making sure you have every Windows update, and you have a flawless system.
With these programs, the legendary "windows degradation over time" problems do not exist. My pc is as fast after two years as one of yours would be upon first clean install. Spyware has no chance on my machine and neither do viruses.
When I repair people's machines, I usually install the above -Kaspersky(unless they are willing to buy it) and tech support is no longer needed. Set all of the things above to run and update automatically and even teenagers won't be able to screw it up.
