Alright so I need some help.
I'm choosing to buy a Security suite and narrowed it down to these two.

I tried Kaspersky but it was way to heavy for my computer so I tried these two and I used Norton in past and I'm a long time Avast Free user but I can't decide between the two.

So if anyone could help me make a decision that would be awesome.
 
Avast Pro Antivirus also has the Sandbox, if that's something you will be using.

Otherwise go for Norton Internet Security. Hope this helps.

Hm... Cost wise I might end up with AIS and I never actually use the sandbox but I might.

So you going to pay for AIS, but use it as it is Avast Free. Clever thinking right there.

AIS has a firewall that advances the Windows 7 Firewall, Safezone which I will use in some cases, and I said I might start using the sandbox.
That being said, No I'm not going to use it as Avast Free. I'll also put its Anti-Spam to work as there's things that require me to use outlook.


EDIT
Come to think about it, I'm going to wait for the final release of Norton IS 2013 and see how it performs and i might have my new XPS desktop by then.
