Ok, I just bought a new laptop (HP DV9933CA from Costco) and it came with the usual craptacular bloatware trials/demos on it, and it has a 60 day free trial of Norton Internet Security.
Since I want some protection, and don't really care for Norton anymore (too much of a resource hog for me), I've been thinking of either going the free route, or buying Trend Micro Internet Security. I've had mixed results with AVG before, and good results with Trend in the past.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what to go with? Trend is on sale right now for $29.99, but if I can snag something for free, that's even better!
