If you're running high speed cable and use Charter, they offer their own CHSSS (charter high speed security suite). It's excellent and free and uses few resources. I dumped Norton a while back and my machine runs much better. My download speeds went from 50kb/sec with Norton to 450kb/sec with CHSSS. Norton was really putting the screws to my overall performance. CHSSS also found a virus that Norton ignored. It was a trojan-dropper that opened the backdoor to other virus'. Guess Norton wanted that one on my system so I could see it stopping virus' that it actually caused.

I'm using AVG Free and Sygate and both work very well. I choose Sygate since it's less taxing on system resources than Zone Alarm and still seems to do what it's supposed to.

Antivir is the way to go. I tried Avast, Nortons, AVG, all caused some sort of problems on 4 separate PCs. Antivir hs consistently proven reliable without interfering.Del.____________________________________________AMD64 3400+ATi Radeon 9800SE 256MB (softmod to 9800 PRO)2 X 512Mb DDR333 Kingston RAM 200Gb Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200 HDD(x32 XP SP2 Home)40GB Hitachi SATA 7200 HDD (x64 XP Pro)Abit AV8 Pro moboSony DVD-ROMLG DVD-RW"How wide the limits stand, between a splendid and a happy land"http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg[/img]
