Hi. I renewed Webroot spyware on my computer for I think 2 years. Now, I am getting a message stating that my Norton Antivirus will expire in 4 days. My question is: What is the difference between the 2? Do they serve the same function? And do I really need them both? Thanks, and pardon my ignorance.

Webroot is AntiSpyware and Norton is AntiVirus...the name explains it
Question about Norton Antivirus %26 Webroot spysweeper?antivirus software
Webroot is the best anti-spyware application and yes you still need an anti-virus application. But stay away from Norton and get Kaspersky instead.
After extensively researching all anti-virus products I can say the best anti-virus is Kaspersky, though NOD32 is better for computer experts. Kaspersky is the best all-round anti-virus program. NOD32 runs faster and has less software conflicts but as a consequence the user interface is difficult to use.
The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans.
It has been proven ESET NOD32 and Kaspersky are better than the best sellers Norton and McAfee (see the consumersearch source for reviews of the top anti-virus products). NOD32 is the "Best anti-virus product of 2006" -Av Compartives.
Trend Micro Antivirus is a viable alternative if you're having a lot of trouble with software conflicts. Trend Micro rounds out the top three.
Many users don't need to pay anything for protection as you can get AVG (anti-virus) and Adaware and Spybot (anti-spyware) applications for free. They are not as good as the paid for applications but work for typical internet users.
