My comp says I need to renew. Anyone know what I need to take out ( there's many options)? Or even a cheat to save me money?

Get Microsoft Security Essentials!
It's free of the Microsoft website and is really good. I have had no problems with it.

Would recommend Microsoft Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx especially if ur computer is not partuclarly new.
Word of warning though - your copy of windows needs to be legitimate (not pirate) otherwise it won't let you use it.
Make sure you uninstall Norton BEFORE installing any replacement.

If you're into internet banking then your bank is probably offering you free AV services in any case and independent security systems.
I've been using Avast for years and never had a problem with it with internet banking. It takes up very few resources to operate, much less than AVG.
