Just bought a little pc bomb...

[1837]

and i dont wanna have anymore problems with virus,worm and so on.. so what i PLAN to install on my pc (only Windows XP 64 bits is installed so far...) to prevent trouble is:

Norton Internet Security
Spybot search and destroy
Ad-Aware

My question:
What i PLAN is maybe not the best so what are guys SUGGESTING me to install to prevent all those annoying problems that occurs when we surf on the net? :shrug: Thanks!

I use Norton Internet Security and it seems to work very well.

You might want to try Spysweeper with that. It's my favorite anti-spyare program.

I found Norton slowed both my laptop and my desktop down to molasses (and my laptop is 64bit). Took em out and switched to McAfee and found things ran a lot faster.

I run both Spybot and Ad-Aware and am happy with both. Also run Microsoft Antispyware. That combination has kept my computers clean for a year now (touch wood).

Totally agree!!!! Norton takes about too much memory and costs too much. Mcafee or AVG is good for the virus scan. If you have a router or hub most have a built in firewall and nothing is better than a hardware firewall.

I use Spybot and Adware together too and everything is well.

Screw Norton. They've made a mess of my systems many times (2004 was the WORST!!!!, 2005 aint much better when you want to remove it)..

Good luck

you can try it for free for 15 days

Think i will put away Norton, use AVG for virus thing and buy spy sweeper after the 15 days trial... Do you think i will still need to install ad-aware? :shrug:

Stay away from Porn, cheap entertainment sites and Email you don't open unless you know the source and you won't need anything. Alot of these companies attract viruses.
