Symantec Hopes To Deliver Anti-Virus Online 148
daria42 writes "Symantec today said it will slowly move towards supplying its consumer applications online as services." From the article: "Sykes also said there was the possibility that tiny pieces of an application or a single virus scan could be resold by organisations such as online banks, which may choose to ensure their customers are not infected with a virus or spyware before they log on to their account ... This could be paid for by the customer using their credit card or by adding it to their mobile phone bill by sending a text message, said Sykes, who warned that banks could decide not to provide access to anyone with an infected computer."

Norton used to be decent. (Score:3, Informative)
For anyone that buys Norton, I would try Nod32 instead, I think it is the best one out there if you're willing to spend money.
For those of you who prefer a free antivirus, I would try Antivir, it is much better than AVG.
