Re: Help with Norton Internet Security Setup

Hi Lori,

First, I would remove Norton's junk from your PC!
It's nothing but a hog on your memory and HD space.
And it will most likely slow things down.

I have a Dell with MCE 2005.
I removed all the programs that I know I wouldn't need.
Including security programs.

Second, just use Win XP User Accounts with passwords.
It will make your life much easier in managing your PC.

Third, if your using broadband for internet, get a Linksys cable/DSL router
w/firewall.
Next, go to Grisoft and get their free AVG virus program.
Next, go to Adaware and get their free version of spam program.
These three things right here will keep your PC humming, without all the
overhead.
This is how I set-up my PC and my friends.

Hope this helps...
E-mail me anytime...

Regards,

Eric
