 |
|
Just being paranoid...
My Norton subscription just expired and I was wondering if it is worth it to renew. I ran Panda on my old comp and am not sure if Norton is better or worse. Are there others that would be better?
I use wireless for the most part with WEP on my home network. Plus the XP firewall.
How safe is my set up?
I run spy-bot from time to time.
I do not download music to this comp but I browse a lot and do some online transactions.

no, I think you'll be fine. IMO Norton isn't anything special. I would just run panda on your computer now (that's what I am using and it works great) you should be fine if you dont download anything and have your firewall. Also, do you have a router? If you do it will help a lot becasue there is a built in firewall in the router just for extra protection.  Hope I helped.
