Here's what I would use on your Vista PC: - AVG Antivirus Free - Spybot Search & Destroy - Lavasoft AdAware SE Personal - CCleaner - PC Tools Firewall Plus All of the above programs work well with Vista and keep your PC running securly. Norton is garbage.... get rid of it. Hope I helped, Jesse This post has been edited by Jesse Bassett: Apr 16 2007, 06:20 AM -------------------- Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 l McAfee Total Protection l Super AntiSpyware Free Edition l AdAware SE Personal l Spyware Blaster l Spyware Guard l Safe Eyes 2007
