My Norton is running out and I'd rather find a good free software package than pay Norton

Anyone know where I can get some good, and free Anti-Virus software?

Is there a catch with those are something? Spyware worries or anything, that seems like too good a deal!

Shaw's actually done a good job of getting quality products into their Shaw Secure software.

I agree AVG and avast! are both good. No worries about spyware with either of them.

And the Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta software is a good complimentary piece of software.
