~I was wondering...what kind of protection thing should I use. I have Norton Antivirus, Spysweeper, Ad-Aware SE Personal, and Spybot Search & Destroy. I just want to use one of them because it is taking up space on my computer. Which one do you suggest me using than all the others? If there is another protection thing that is better than these that please do tell me.~

Thanks, Littlehacker11~

What's the difference between Spyware and Virus?

[SteWieH]

Viruses are thigns made to make your computer not runs or make it a terrible hard to use. Spyware is things placed on your computer that sends personal info of yours to them such as what you use the most program wise

So I would need to have Norton Antivirus and another one for Spyware...But which one?

[SteWieH]

I use Norton Av and ad aware pro SE myself

Just to make sure, have you ever gotten any viruses from using these two? I got a virus recently and I had to get my computer fixed, so I don't want that happening again.

Norton doesnt doetect much. I switched to kaspersky and I had like 120 trojans and like 4worms

Where can I exactly find this kaspersky? Sorry for asking to much...

I never had a problem with Norton myself honestly.

norton lags, takes up a lot of memory and barely ever actualy cleans a virus.

Best combo ever -
Zone Labs Pro Firewall(protects from hackers AND spyware/adware)
McAfee AntiVirus(protects from virus)
Ad-Aware(rarely needed with zone labs)

If I was you I would look somewhere else to free up your disk space, having AV and spyware detection is worth it's space on your disk

do you have a CD Burner that you could archive of stuff you only use occasionally?

have you cleared all your temp files?
I know it sounds silly but have you emptied your trash can? (I went to a non-puter person to fix there "c**p system" only to find that the reason it was running dog slow was the hard drive was full, there was over 5 gig of deleted music in the trash - cleaned and it was fine)

if hard drive space is so tight think about getting another one they are pretty cheap per gig nowadays (a cheap 80gig drive will set you back around 30quid)

I think this Zone Lab Pro thing is to strong, is there anyway that I can make it unblock some programs that I use? If so, please do tell me

[Alex]

yes u open it, go to Program Control, then pick the tab called Programs and change whatever you want to checkmarks (allowed).
