Should i install any of these norton antivirus,,norton personal firewall,antispyware ???network security



I wouldn't, Norton can be resource hungry and difficult to uninstall.



All the following programs are free for personal use;



You need to install one firewall.



The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.



http://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall



http://www.comodogroup.com/ - Comodo security suite.



You need to install one anti virus;



http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/... -AVG anti virus or



http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus



You need all three anti spyware programs;



http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.



http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware



http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware



And these are useful utilities;



Shields Up security site;



https://www.grc.com - check your firewall works



http://www.grc.com/optout.htm - grc anti spyware program and info.



http://www.mozilla.com/ Firefox web browser and Thunderbird e-mail program.



http://www.opera.com/ Opera web browser



Instal both these web browsers, turn off javascript on one and use that browser for vising unknown websites. They don't support Active X so thats one less way for problems to get on your pc.
