735346 2009-03-25 22:09:00 Avoid norton like the plague. From personal experiences of members of the this forum(including me) it is quite obvious that it is not very good as removing malware.

In fact, its a nuisance most of the time.

Avira is good-but I find avast! to be better. Used AVG for a while but was consuming much more Memory than Avast!

Good firewall-Best would be Comodo, easy to setup.

But really, most people think they need a lot of "secuirty" for your pc and that you'll need lots of security products to "protect them".
Routers Hardware firewall plus windows own firewall is more than enough.

735348 2009-03-25 22:37:00 Nvidia firewall isnt installed on your system is it??

Its part of the chipset drivers for some computer systems.

If it is uninstall it, it can cause a lot of probs, including corrupted downloads
