My Norton AntiVirus program tells me I now have a
Trojan Horse on my Home computer, (I'm NOT at home right now) However, Norton says it can Not remove the Virus. It's possible that I am not using a Legit version of XP, possible! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) My one-year subscription of the Norton A.V. expires in about 3 weeks. My question for you: should I just re-up with Norton, or switch to someone else, like McAfee? Also, I noticed quite a few Bundles of software for sale over the weekend, like a McAfee 'Personal Fire Wall'. Is that something that would help me, a great deal, in the future? Thanks in advance for your Opinions & Advice! |

Hey People
I do 90% of my banking on the net, I am scared shittless. I have Norton and AVG, with a Spygate firewall. I have no frikken idea if it is good or not. Sorry for the Hyjack but I have a small detour question. I was thinking of loading a small hardrive, in a portable box, and use it only for banking...problem... my 733 can't be configured to boot from USB. I was told running it from a slave, is useless protection from pin hackers. I do the usual clearing of my memory after banking, but then I have to re-enter my passwords.
