Hello all. New poster here.

I am wondering what you guys use to protect yourselves. I still run Norton Internet Security and Norton Anti-Virus. I used to have SpySweeper, but didn't want to pay for the annual fee for both services. Too bad, because I liked SpySweeper.

Are there any other programs I should run to optimize security?

I'm working on killing a virus, and just downloaded HijackThis!

I've downloaded your recommended programs and will install them now.

Thanks, Gizzy. I will have to start using FireFox. SpySweeper just found a virus "Trojan-Winbudget" that Norton (of course) missed. Will look into how to get rid of it.

yeah either firefox or opera are good to use it depends which one you like more I happen to like both so I have both installed on my computer but I mostly use firefox,

good luck with removing that trojan.
