We have SBC Global DSL. I've done all the usual routine dumping of files to keep the computer in trim. Its definitely the virus ware.

Norton Anti-Virus has seriously slowed up my laptop. Can I get by with my DSL providers internet virus ware?vincent

I am a technology professional and have access to all kinds of high powered corporate security software. Most of it is just expensive crap so I personally use Free AVG by Grisoft:

It works, it's not a system hog, and best of all, it's FREE! I have used it for years and have never had any virus or spyware attacks.

The best way to avoid security intrusions of any kind is to use Firefox or Netscape browsers and eMail instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook. I used Netscape exclusively for years but have recently discovered Firefox and LOVE it. Both are much more functional than IE and much safer.

You can get Firefox here:

You can get Netscape here:

I hope this helps. Take care and best of luck!
