Computer Anti-virus/protection?

I currently use:

Norton Firewall, Norton Antivirus, Windows defender, CCleaner, Spybot Search and Destroy.

I have heard that Norton is slowing my computer down (I dont have the most up to date PC - 1.5ghz processor, 256mb ram) Someone suggested getting rid of the anti virus and installing AVG free version.

What is the difference between Norton Anti Virus and AVG? what does one do that the other doesnt? Also would you advise this? and is the Firewall replaceable by some free program to stop that from slowing my computer...

Do I have enough protection?

I have bad experience with Norton,It slows down the Pc as you have stated. I downloaded AVG.It is good. I suggest that you can study various options available and select a suitable antivirus. There is a study report at http://jskproducts.co.uk/antivirus.htm You can take some guidance.

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts.I also use Windows Defender. Hope this helps.
