Re: Computer Speed ???


I use Lavasoft Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Windows Defender and AVG Anti-Virus. While probably a good virus protector, according to several of the gurus over at the Computer Forum, Nortons is a processing hog so it can actually steal some of your speed. AVG caught several viruses on our daughters computer that NAV missed too. We haven't had any problems since we have been using AVG. You can get a free version for one computer in your home and their pro version is very reasonable. We use it on all 4 of our computers at home and all 4 at work. Plus we use the above mention aniti-spyware programs regularly. It keep's us squeaky clean and our browsing experience is top notch.

I'll also echo everything Otto stated.
