My Panda Internet Security 2009 ran out and need to renew it and was wondering if it good to renew it. or get something differnt.

the only reason i am asking is i don't if panda is rescoure hog or not.

I was going to renew with Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 it' $50 bucks instead of $80.

I don't think it's the best choice for A/V. I don't know about the weight, but I don't think it's detection rate is worth the price. I use Antivir Free, and if I were to pay for A/V I'd buy the pay for product. My short list of A/V I'd consider...

Symantec
MS
NOD32

get a free antivirus (antivir, avast etc...)
use the windows firewall or a free alternative (comodo, kerio etc..)
use free antispyware/malware (superantispyware, spywareblaster etc...)

Go for Kaspersky or Trend Micro. They seem to be decent.

No, you shouldn't. Panda's site would be the best place to check, but Symantec's the only one I know of that has a uninstall tool.

add/remove programs should do the trick
