Security Bundle?

If you want a security suite, check out Norton Internet Security 2006, it has everything you need starting with AntiVirus and a personal firewall.

It controls for spy- and adware, too. Regardless of how your system is set up, I would always do full scans for everything. Even if a program can't do you any harm, it'll still eat up your resources and discspace. And you never know if a really bad program can't use a not-so-bad program to its advantage.

Anway, Norton is easy to install and setup; it starts out with a full system scan, too. Backups are automated and you won't have to worry about them as long as your subscription is still good. (A year with your purchase, and I think there are better offers sometimes, too.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.
