Are there any free downloadable virus and Internet security programs to
use
with xp home as an alternative to Norton Internet Security?


There are many free downloadable virus programs, and I strongly recommend
installing any of them!

Instead I recommend tat you download and install a free *anti*-virus
program. ;-)

I recommend the free Avast!, but there are other good choices.

You also need at least two Anti-spyware programs. I recommend Spybot search
and Destroy, Spyware Blaster, and Adaware.

Getting rid of Norton Internet Security is a good move. It's probably the
worst possible choice.
