I think Norton has steadily declined over the years. I still use Norton Systemworks for keeping my registry and shortcut links tidy. It's also handy to give all the disks a quick chkdsk before I defragment them.

Well u guys talked me into it.

I just installed Spybot Search & Destroy, AVG Anti-Virus, and I'm downloading ZoneAlarm right now.

I just installed Zone Alarm for vista and it crashed the computer, BSOD. I restarted and it immediately crashed again, so I restarted in Safe Mode and uninstalled it. Voila.

And my computer has never crashed before...

I use my Install of XP in VirtualBox once in a while, and it has no protection, but it also doesn't have any viruses.

Vista is still pretty new. They should be coming out with a service pack for it fairly soon , PC Magazine online talked about Vista SP 1 Beta in testing recently. So maybe ZoneAlarm will work better for you then.

As far as your computer crashing , did you get a stop error? Always write down what it says , then you can look up the code and find out what happened.

That's funny, Vista is getting SP1, and XP is getting SP3? (or 4, cant recall what its up to) all around the same time. Infact it looks like they put more resources into the XP service pack

It's 3 for XP. I haven't heard much of XP's SP3, so I'm not sure if it has more or not. From what I remember, it's basically SP2 with all the patches that came out since then (which alone is doubling the size of SP2...)

I hear it actually improves the performance of XP considerably.

One thing I hope they fix in XP is that sometimes it will randomly just go slow. None of the drives are blinking or making any noise, the computer has been going for a while, etc... and it just slows down for about 10-20 seconds -- you look at processes, and system idle process is at 90% -- still slow... why?

Hope they fix that.

Oh, don't worry about that slowness. It's just Microsoft collecting private data about you to see if you are associated with any undesirable elements of society. Like homos, buddhists, atheists etc...
