          I used Zone Alarm since 99 or whenever it came out. I switched to Norton 1 month ago. I switched back to Zone alarm yesterday.

          Norton fucking sucks and interfered with a shitload of stuff. Zone alarm won't bother you. It will let your programs work and silently stop anything nasty.

                    agreed.

                    i recieved a gift from an online buddy of mine, he gave me a year susbscription for Norton and i fuckin canned that within a month and moved with my local broadband firewall/anti virus service instead.

                      NORTON is a magnet for viruses, just my experience.

                      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                          The only Norton program worth a shit is Ghost. All the rest fucking suck and really fuck with your computer.

                                      Kaspersky Anti Virus is what I use on my XP box.

                                              I never realized how much Norton Hijacks your system in the background.

                                              Kaspersky was a very welcome change. It also catches tons more internet website exploits. Fucking Awesome!!! IMHO

                                                      Kaspersky was a very welcome change. It also catches tons more internet website exploits. Fucking Awesome!!! IMHO

                                                      Im uninstalling Zone Alarm now..........

                                                      Installing the trial of Kaspersky..
                                                      Ill try the antivirus and the firewall thing...

                                                      Zone alarm seemed to really slow down my internet surfing.
                                                      IT was pretty significant..

                                                          nope they have an antivirus-firewall package.

                                                          Not sure i really need a firewall do i??? Isnt the Microsoft firewall with sp2 enough?? OR should i be using something else?

                                                                          Yeah i already have a Belkin Router.. Says there is a firewall on there.

                                                                                It got to the point where if I had a problem I would first try to disable NIS and try again and sure enough, everything would be fine.

                                                                                I installed in on my in laws comp also and there it won't do auto update which makes it pretty useless.

                                                                                      This is a Russian company..

                                                                                      Im sure its the best now. All the good viruses and exploits dudes seem to be from there so this shit is for real.. But can I trust em?


                                                                                      That's what I thought also. But if anyone knows Windows its the eastern block countries, almost like they have stolen the source code for windows from MS... lol j/k
