hmm well its always good to have more than one anti-virus software...go to www.download.com and download AVG anti-virus...its free. i have it and it works great.

my uncle is really good with computers and when i first got my computer, like every other windows computer, it came with norton anti-virus. my uncle said that norton can eventually start to harm your computer, like by taking over it and making it crash. i didnt believe him at first but then it started happening to my moms computer. we almost had to erase all the memory because of it but thankfully everything turned out ok.

the point is, get rid of norton and download another antivirus software for free.

for spyware, id recommend downloading spybot search&destroy and ad aware SE personal

all of the programs can be found on download.com, and if not there, just type it in google and download it from a site there

PS- no matter what people say, spybot search&destroy DOES NOT give your computer viruses.

Eek. That would be the Trojan Horse virus. I got that once. Its an effer to get rid of.

I had to install Windows all over. Luckily my dad has a computer geek friend so we got a discount. Very pricey.

Good luck with that.
