My Internet security is due for renewal and I'm wondering whether or not to change
Providers. I have had Norton 360 for several years, looking aroúnd for the best price rather than using auto renewal which is easy but very expensive. Trouble is, Norton appears to have discontinude Norton 360 and replaced it with Norton Security with Back up and has to be installed because it is a different product. The feedback on Amazon is not good, whilst many of the issues raised in feedback has been explained on the Norton Forum, one thing that stil bothers me is that apparently it takes up a lot of disc space and slows down computer speed.
So I have been looking at alternatives and came across Bitdefender Internet Security 2015, which retails around £17.50 but it only covers 1 pc. It has been highly praised as doing everything that the bigger companies do, but is light on disc space.
Any other recomendations please?

I personally just use the free for home use Panda Cloud Antivrus.

Norton do have a great help forum, do these free ones also have help forums and is back up available?
I assume you mean Kaspersky? So where is this product because I can't find it on their website?

Unless that is the licence renewal after you have bought the initial product (which is £44 for Kaspersky Internet Security) but even so I can't find any mention of how much a licence renewal costs.
I can find subscription versions of KIS and Kaspersky AntiVirus but neither of those is a tenner a year. More like 40 or 50 quid a year for 5 PCs.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security on my laptop. Mind you I get if free with Barclays online banking so never get to see how much it costs to renew
It is a very good product and usually scores well in comparative tests.
this is the one i now use again, I used if a few years back but it was not great. But now it is fine.
it was on my brothers new laptop, but it seemed to be pretty slow, changed it for comodo and it runs nice now.
Anyway would you really trust Kapersky?
Hardly
Money talks
Who says it is better?
i still prefer comodo myself, but it will not work with windows 10, in fact very few do. I have the free bitdefender on at the moment, but it is only a anti virus.
