Re: OT: Virus protect pro
Why do you need another one? How many do you use regularly?

Re: OT: Virus protect pro
With adaware and spybot, you are already covered for spyware/adware. Nortons not that great against virus/trojan stuff, but it works.

Re: OT: Virus protect pro
norton is bloatware.
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/OptimizeXP.html
there you will find some good solid tools for securing and optimizing windows.
However, he's dead wrong on internet explorer, I feel. |

Dead wrong on all things browser related, really. Well, other than Opera being fast.

Re: OT: Virus protect pro
He's right about Opera not being compatible with some webpages, and Firefox being slow. I normally use Opera, but recently had to install Firefox to get into a site that neither IE or Opera could load properly.
