Searching For Another PROVIDER I Thought I would TRY Peoplepc.com They Have
Their Own Security PACK. When I Downloaded the Software CD It asked to
Uninstall Any Other Virus Service I Have. So I Did !!! BIG MISTAKE using
PEOPLEPC.com. Ive had Connection Problems & Only Had PEOPLEPC for 3 weeks.

There are lots of free AV and Firewall, but my personal preference is this:
Try either Avast or AVG free versions, if you like it you can move to the
paid one and get complete protection( Firewall, Anti--spyware and Anti-Virus).
Here is the link:

Also if you gone to the free version you need a Firewall as they come
without one, so you can pick ZA or Comodo and Kerio search the MSN for it.
HTH.

You have a firewall already - there's a basic firewall built into WinXP.
Make sure you're on SP2, though - just good advice in general. In SP2 it's
on by default. If you want something that blocks outbound traffic (which
Windows won't), you can look at ZoneAlarm....

For free antivirus, there are several options, but AVG is one of the more
popular ones. However, note that you get what you pay for. For your Norton,
even if it came with your Presario, it likely was an eval (or, it was one
that had a lapsed subscription after some point). I personally recommend
TrendMicro PCCillin for my small/home office clients; it's about $40 or so
per year. Like many IT people, I am not a big fan of Norton AV or McAfee.
Their stuff has become 'bloatware.'

For your connectivity problems, you should probably contact PeoplePC. I
don't use any ISP's software/CD, ever - I want to have control over what's
running on my computer, and I don't need an ISP's re-branded web browser, or
anything like that.

See above.... And I hope you don't mind my mentioning it, but it's kind of
hard to read your post, what with the excessive capitalization of letters.
Write in proper English, and pretend you're writing an essay for a strict
teacher. You'll get more help that way. I truly mean this kindly and hope
you have taken no offense.

Well Norton is the worst security ever!
Avoid at all costs!

Anyway AOL Active Virus Sheild is the best free anti virus in the world with
a 99.96% detection rates of viruses and get Comodo Firewall Pro it works very
well and isnt annoying like Zone Alarm
