NAV consumes system resources

Norton AntiVirus not only does not pick up most spyware, it also uses a lot of system resources and slows down your PC. Of course, that won't matter much to someone with a 3.4 GHz H/t processor with SATA drives and 2GB RAM, but the lag is noticable in average computers. A better anti-virus program would be Nod 32 or AVG. Nod is expensive, but it is said to be the best in the world. As for spyware, prevention remains safest - get Spyware Blaster ( http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html ) - it stops a lot of spyware from being downloaded. Also, it is a good idea to stay off of the dodgy sites.

One easy solution to a lot of these problems...QUIT USING IE!!! Get firefox from http://www.getfirefox.com

I use System Mechanic PRO for everything..works really well. Includes Kaspersky AV and Firewall. No problems with spyware/popups/viruses since I started using it.

True..but for general browsing firefox works and protects you from active-x hacks.

so does using spywareblaster..

What would be the fun in avoiding "adult" websites??:nervous:
