My comp actually crashed. After we had gotten a new comp, we now have Norton and haven't had any kind of viruses at all.

I've run AVG for years and also Tested Avast, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, Avira..... Etc. Anti virus alone will not protect you from everything. In fact no Virus protection is fool proof. You should have Spybot, Malwarebytes, and/or Superantispyware installed and run weekly scans. All of our download and surfing habits differ so it's not comparing apples to apples.

Bottom line: If something really wants to get in, it doesn't matter what firewall or Anti virus you have. It's going to get in. Your best bet is to avoid the web sites that infect your PC. Free stuff, advertisements and sponsored applications are ones specifically to avoid. Also schedule weekly Virus scans and be sure the definitions are updating.
