  1. Buying the shelf products is less expensive than going to symantic for their good stuff and depending on your needs & the size of your business it may be adequate but if you are liable for others imfo. as well as your own you may find it prudent to give them a call to find cost & advantages of some of their more advanced software.

  2. I really like bellsouth. We have extreme 6.0 and its fast and they Don’t care if you use P2P (Which is hardly use, maybe I did for ubuntu)

  3. Norton Security is one of the best on the market, I wouldn't change it. Your Norton internet should have a firewall already. i would check that and if it does I would disable your windows firewall, only if you are certain Norton has a firewall program included. Multiple firewalls on a machine can cause conflicts and problems.

    Some of the freewareAVs are hogs and slow your comp down. I referenced a good article from Maximum PC for all the nay say cheapskates who swear by the free antivirus.

  4. Best internet security would be kaspersky internet security 2009+super antispyware free and a-squared free

    best antivirus would be avira premium+comodo firewall pro+super antispyware free and a-squared free

    Mcrappy an norton are trash.

  7. Someone said pin is on a CC strip…….Total BS. its not located on any of the three rails. If you are going to claim soemthing they have to sight the information

  8. Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.

    Disable "System Restore" for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.

    Now restart in safe mode.
    To get in safe mode Press "F8" upon bootup.
    Select "Safe mode with Networking".
    Go to Start – Run – type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).
    Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
    When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
    Go to Start – Run – type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).
    Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

    **NOTE: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.

    When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.
    Turn on "System Restore".

    ——————
    You need to get one antivirus program, one firewall and some spyware/adware/malware removers if you don't have it.
    I use Norton Internet Security (antivirus, spyware, firewall, add blocker, mail spamfilter, pop up blocker etc) Ad Aware, Spybot and more on my desktop running XP Home SP2 with Firefox and Yahoo Toolbar with pop up blocker.
    On my laptop i have Ubuntu 7.04. No security needed in Linux, but i use antivirus and firewall. Firefox is standard.
    I have no virus, spyware, adware, pop ups etc on my computers.
    Mozilla Firefox and Opera are safer browsers to use then Internet Explorer.

    AVG Anti-spyware Free.
    http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tp...

    Spybot – Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

    AVG Anti-Rootkit Free.
    http://free.grisoft.com/doc/39798/lng/us...
    AVG Anti-Rootkit is a powerful tool with state-of-the-art technology for detection and removal of rootkits. rootkits are used to hide the presence of a malicious object like Trojans or keyloggers on your computer. If a threat uses rootkit technology to hide itself it is very hard to find the malware on your PC. AVG Anti-Rootkit gives you the power to find and delete the rootkit and to uncover the threat the rootkit is hiding.

    CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space.

    Blocksite website Blocker
    * Privacy & Security

    BlockSite is an extension, which automagically blocks websites
    of your choice. Additionally, this extension will disable all
    hyperlinks to these websites, by just displaying the link text
    without the clicking functionality.
    This extension should by no means be used for parental control
    or access control purposes, just because it isn't secure and
    can easily be disabled or even removed.

    I have found that MOST of my security problems were coming from sites like Washington Times,Salon,USA Today,ect.
    they all have [ drive by ] flash ads that leave a pop UNDER when you leave the site.
    R.I.P. when R.I.P. option remove from this domaim is used,those flash ads no longer are loaded.
    you get a bar at the top of the page saying parts of the website were not loaded.
    just click away and not worry about those flash tracking cookies anymore
