If you have multiple version of Norton installed, you'll need advice from
them on how to best proceed. We try to support Microsoft products in these
newsgroups and not products from 3rd party vendors that most of us do not
use.
As for hacking, the best defense is a firewall, both a software one and a
hardware one. Windows XP-SP2 has an excellent firewall in software and a
router from most major manufacturers would be an excellent hardware
firewall. With those in place, most hackers will give up, since it's easier
to solicit users to infect themselves by inviting them to visit software
sites that do "drive-by" installs of malware which is why your browser if
inadequately set is your biggest hazard today, particularly if you regularly
visit adult sites (and most adults do visit them on occasion) with email
"phishing" solicititations being the next biggest hazard. See this link for
more about malware:
