Quick Question before purchasing

Hi,

 

I am an online multiplayer gamer, and I currently use CA EZtrust. It isn't very user friendly, and no matter how I set it up, it always finds a way to screw me over during a critical game. Whether its a scan, or an update etc, it really gets annoying. I am done with it. I've been told by my fellow gamers that Norton is the way to go. But I don't want to get the wrong software.

 

My question is, what software should I get to A: have the most protection from the internet, spyware, malware, viruses etc, and B: can give me the option to totally turn it off during serious matches?

 

Please excuse my ignorance, I've never really considered the option until recently, I just put up with it lol, no more.

 

Thanks in advance for your time and responses,

 

Jeremy
