I just got a compaq laptop and it has vista. 3GB memory and 160GB hard drive. It has norton internet security (60 days trial)....I set up the norton byconfigurations and I wanted to update it. It says it updated but norton still kept running. I could not get it to stop or close the program. It ended up notresponding. Is this problem because norton slows down the laptop and uses too much resources? Should I switch to McAfee?
 
I'm using Zonealarm right now, it doesn't slow it down that much. The only reason I'm using it is cause I have 65,508 days til' i have torenew.

Actually, Norton 2009 is supposed be to pretty good. They've done a huge overhaul of the system is and is much less resource-intensive. Just hit up somereviews.

I haven't used it myself (I use Kaspersky) but Norton being crap is not true anymore.

So is that the reason its not responding with vista too well, it because norton is using too many resources?
 
Does anyone know how to work kaspersky internet security? I see no delete option if the computer does have a virus. When norton detects a virus you can get ridof it. Kaspersky, just lists what is found. The manual online doesnt explain anything. Anyone can help? thanks
 
yeah, but macs are expensive....and for the cheapest macbook, its only 2GB memory and 160GB hard drive. Are those specs really worth over $1000?
 
for the specs that cost more than 1000? no...but the fact that you can download and go to them porn sites using your macbook and knowing that the odds of yougetting a virus to slim to none is priceless
