| | | internet explorer, what kind of antivirus do you suggest?? i actually paid for norton, wasnt one of those free online thingys | |

| | | i actually don't use antivirus software. it does me no good. i think it's deffective, and i would rather remove viruses and shit manually. that's just me though.
i think that your problem is internet explorer. you should go to http://www.firefox.com and download firefox. i think that you'll like it better. | |

| | | i dunno much about computers, but i heard internet explorer sucks now. probably the easiest way to get a virus. i use mozilla.

| | | I replaced somebody's ie with Mozilla Firefox just yesterday because ie kept crashing.
zro, for virus scans, I recommend using AVG free or some other web-based scan in addition to Norton. I actuallly don't use Norton at all, or McAfee.
I've been pretty happy with panda software online virus scans too, but that only runs on ie, and I've recently given ie the old heave-ho.
