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!
