I like Norton Internet Security, and call it a must.

Other stuff I do periodically to keep my 'puter healthy...stuff you can do now:

Run Spybot and AdAware

Defragment

Check my startup items at Start > Run > msconfig (Windows) and remove the junk.

Dump my temporary internet files.

And last but not least, I reformat my hard drive once or twice a year.

I hope this helps

Hi rick now im using norton and it work fine for me thanks but may i ask what can you say about avast and avg they say its good but when i try avast it makes my computer to form slow thats for me don't know whats for them, hey but thank to your norton it protect my computer regularly...

Thank...

RickJ

I'm not familiar with avast and avg but do know that many apps that supposedly do us good end up hogging resources and making the 'puter run slow.

Actually people use Avast or AVG specifically because programs like Norton AV (and all other Norton programs for that matter) are such resource hogs. You could give me a lifetime subscription to Norton AV and I would chuck it in favour of AVG.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out myself!
