AVG free -anti virus<br />Adaware- ads<br />spyware blaster- spy crap<br />ewido- trojans and key loggers<br />Ccleaner- cleans the crap outa windows.<br /><br />Better than norton and actaully lets the machine run rather than crash.

For spyware I bought "pest patrol" it deletes spyware as I surf. Well worth the money IMHO. <br /><br />That's another thing about Norton, it's a huge hog for resources.

Well you can guess, but I will say it is the standard answer whether the issue is her computer, cell phone, car etc. She ran over the lawn mower and broke off a driven wheel a few months back. Yup, my fault . . . The operator is not responsible for the equipment around here. I think it's in her union contract . . .

Re: Norton AV

I have Norton and it expired on me a couple of weeks ago, but it still works as "internet security." What free program replaces that aspect of Norton?

Re: Norton AV

The Norton "Internet Security" feature that came with my computer had to be disabled just so I could use this thang, so I don't know what it does. Chief

Re: Norton AV

I think it's supposed to intercept anything coming into your machine, as well as show anyone trying to hack into your machine.

On my computer it was more like multi"dis"functional. Chief

Re: Norton AV

Zone Alarm has a nice free program that offers good protection from intrusions.

Re: Norton AV

Right now I use AVG Free for antivirus and it appears to work, I use Zone Alarm for a firewall and I really like it, I use Ad Aware and Spybot for bug intrusion(I run the Ad Aware at least once a day)and I like that one too, and last but not least CC Cleaner that I run once a month or so. All these are freebies so I imagine the paid versions are really powerful. Chief<br />I'm out of breath now.

Re: Norton AV

I use the free Avast! Home Edition for virus. I purchased Spyware Doctor and Registry Mechanic. My firewall is a hardware firewall built into my router.
