Hello! My mother had Norton installed for the last 3 years. Now she wants to install either Avg or F-secure. She has a good knowledge in computer. Anyway while I am not convinced in AVG I, myself, would use F-Secure. Most importantly, she looks for the price. Please don't suggest using AVG free. She won't run free solution even if they offer good protection.

That is a good price..
You can also try ebay from a reputable seller;

Thanks for posting but, unfortunately, this is a key card not a download version. And if you don't know if you ship anything to Gaza it might take 60 days to arrive and that's if you're lucky enough if the Israeli forces let it in.

Last time I used F-Secure, false positives were a nightmare. Cannot tell at the moment. AVG I personally dislike.

Yes I agree. But it is easy to allow blocked files.

Edit: F-Secure's Deep Guard detected Sticky Password portable as "Suspicious:W32/Malware!DeepGuard.r". I excluded the programme and reported the false positive.

I have been away for some time now. Anyway, I have been suing both AVG IS and F-Secure on two of my devices and I can confidently say that both products are very light but F-Secure is much lighter. I have experienced some issues in AVG's GUI that even support could not fix, only complete uninstall and reinstall helped. I am currently very happy with F-Ssecure and I feel they are in the right path.
