My Norton anti-virus subscription is up tomorrow and I don't think I will renew it. My automatic updater went wrong some time ago and I have to use the manual method for virus definitions, which is a pain.
I've noted on the forum that most people also don't rate Norton so, what should I buy? I have a Dell Desktop PC with 3.2 GHz and 512 RAM, a 1MB broadband connection (through a cable not modem) and the PC is used by all the family. I use IE and email through Outlook Express. I also have Spyguard, Spyblaster and Kerio Firewall (version 2.1.5) running.
I am quite willing to buy software if it works. I have noted the forum's preference for Nod32(?) and ProcessGuard and many also seem to recommend switching to Firefox rather than use Interenet Explorer.
So,
i) Should I switch to Firefox as well as changing my anti-virus and how on earth do I do this? Is there a link I can go to to explain in easy terms and will it affect Outlook Express?
ii) What anti-virus should I buy? Who from? Any likely problems for a fairly un-techy person to cope with?
iii) Any known conflicts with the rest of the programmes I have.
Would like recommendations please before I splash out on something that's no more use than Norton.
Thanks
