norton 2007
So do I update norton 2006 for £42 or buy a new copy of 2007 at Pc world for £25. Sorry Im just not up to speed with this, any help that saves cash to buy even more diving gear is cool. Oh and I need to buy a mobile phone contract for the little princess today. Mostly text used any advice?
Cheers

I'm not a fan of Norton products personally - try Zonealarm, the full version gives you a top rated firewall and good AV and Antispyware and an spam email filter too

Depending on how insistent the little princess is on the phone handset (and that probably means the blingiest model out....which you don't tend to get on pay as you go....) then I'd suggest a pay-as-you-go so that she can be responsible for managing the cost of the phone bill
If you do go contract, then go to somewhere like carphonewarehouse and get them ot pick the best deal, they are pretty good for comparing tariffs, which is a minefield....

best of luck :-)

Norton is worse than any virus it is pretending to protect you from.

Get Avast for AVG (free for home users).

Prevx1 is the best anti-malware S/W I have ever come across.

Ad-Aware SE is also very good and free for home users.

Norton
Last night Norton offered to refund me my upgrade money. Having paid the full £43 and then finding I could not download as using win 2000, I was not happy.
Currently using AVG but may change this to Panda which I have on my laptop.

As far as i know:

AVG is the best free antivirus
and Zonealarm is the best free Firewall

Save your money and system resources and go with BitDefender Pro. If you get it from US sites it will cost about £25 for firewall, AV, and spam filter.

Oh on the subject of free software - yes Zonealarm for the firewall and AVG for the Antivirus

AVG also do a good anti-adaware package called ewido which is free

AVG Free Advisor: Free anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-malware tools - AVG anti virus and anti spyware

Zonealarm can cause issues with some other software installed..
Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6 - Downloading Free Software at Simtel.net - sygate is an alternative firewall. and free.
