Computer internet security????

i have decided to dump the dreaded norton, i have it seems a choice of 3 replacements, or at least from what i can gather these are the best 3, Kaspersky, AVG, or Avast, can anyone convince me of which is the best? i have also been told that Tesco internet security is pretty good, does anyone have experience of this one. kind regards to all.

AVG is crap!



Mostly noobs, the naive, the computer illiterate, and children use AVG Free. These types love AVG because they say it is easy to use and almost never bothers them with any pop-ups or warnings. Of course AVG Free never bothers them, it hardly ever finds any virus to warn them about!

etc. etc. etc, ad nauseam, AVG fares poorly.



AVG has proven itself to be a miserable performer at best. Missing almost 20%, while trying to detect known malware, in some tests. Not to mention almost non-existent heuristic detection and infrequent "once-a day" updates.
