Hello!

If I have Norton Internet Security 2007, do I need moore software too stay clean?

Every time I go too my webpages I got banners from Party Poker, broadcasting and some rental dvd site.

I have the cleaner, ad aware and Nis 07.


Sorry for my English!

Mm I had it but when I installed NIS 2007 it said that I have too uninstall Spybot search & destroy before I can install NIS 2007 so I dont know if you can have spybot when you have NIS

Welcome to the forum  pgu579   wave  Welcome!
Try this scan.   http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/
Then if you want less problems get rid of the death machine and get a better anti-virus. Norton killed 1 and almost 2 of my computers. For free even. Use the NIS C.D. for a very good drink coaster. I still use my 3 they work well.  Laughing
AVG Free AV

While you are at it get their Anti spyware too( trial turns into free later). You will be in much faster and safer shape than before. Plus you will be "free"!

Yeah norton is trash. It does nothing but slow down your computer. I had problems with just the antivirus, much less the internet security crap. I have fixed many computers for neighbors/friends/etc and I put AVG and Windows Defender on all of them. They have yet to have a problem with any kind of virus/spyware. I'm running Vista right now and for some reason AVG doesn't work with it, so I'm using Avast, which is equally as good. Norton =   uglystupid2 ... AVG =   smitten

Here is a good read..  A review from compiled off of data from AV-test.org..
http://antivirus.about.com/od/antivirussoftwarereviews/a/freeav.htm

Kinda shocked at the results..  I have moved from Norton to Triend Micro an am now on Kaspersky.. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages..  It all comes down to what suits you best.

Problems... no. I think they just wanted to know if they were set with Norton as their anti-virus.

As far as vista goes...  Glad McAfee is working out for you!
