A disadvantage if you install Norton! It is a resources hungry program that
tries to be everything to everybody, and fails!
Below is what i use for security:
Vista’s Firewall is very good!
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus
It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible.
Only have one (1) anti-virus installed more than 1 can cause conflicts.

For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2â€Â
Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your
System with it.

For a non-scanning, but running in the background, Program to STOP Spyware
being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the
above link.
