View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrently running Vista64 on a HP DV9500CTO laptop, fully loaded with almost every option avaliable from HP. I love it, First thing I did when I got the laptop about a month ago is wipe it and do a clean (with out all the HP pre-installed crapware). Running great. One thing I want to ask running Norton Internet Security 2008, and it seems to be slowing down the computer quite a bit. I am a road warrior, I travel a lot for work so I thought the Norton firewall would do a good job and seems to be fine, but again, it seems to be slowing down the system more than I like. I went through the walkthrough section here on the site (I have been lurking / reading a lot here and decided to fineally register my account) and have seen some improvement from the tips there, but the main question is this: What do you all reccomend for a good AV / Firewall product that wont kill performance on this thing.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just got a new computer running Vista. I installed Norton Antivirus but in the "Norton Protection Center" I get an "At Risk" warning regarding the firewall. Specifically it reads "At Risk: Advanced Firewall". I have Windows Firewall tuned on, I don't understand what it is talking about when it says Advanced Firewall.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWindows Vista Basic sp1. Im using a 3rd party firewall program. In Administrative Tools---Services it shows Windows Firewall status as Started. But, in Security Center it shows my 3rd party firewall being On but Windows Firewall being off. Also, in Administrative Tools---Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is showing Windows Firewall being on in Domain Profile. Is this normal? Why would one show Windows Firewall as On and another show it as Off?

I have 2 monitors, but believe I need to purchase another video/graphics card. Anyone smarter than me out there (that was meant to be self depricating), that could recommend a plain jain, cheap graphics card so I can hook up my second monitor? I'm not into gaming, just love having two monitors at work, and once you have two, you can't handle one, right?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat antivirus works best with Vista Home Premium?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAntivirus 360 is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses false scan results and aggressive advertising in order to promote itself. This rogue is advertised by the Vundo Trojan and is replacing the Antivirus 2009 rogue program that Vundo has been aggressively advertising. If you are infected with the Vundo Trojan you will see a large amount of pop-ups stating that your computer is infected and that you should install Antivirus 360 in order to protect yourself. If you click on the ad, Antivirus 360 will be downloaded to your computer and you will be prompted to install it.
Once installed, Antivirus 360 will be configured to start automatically when you start Windows. Once started, the program will perform a scan, and when done, will list a variety of legitimate or nonexistent files as infections that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the program. What is so dangerous about these scan results is that the files that Antivirus 360 states are infections are actually legitimate Microsoft files, that if deleted, will cause Windows to become unusable. Therefore, if someone believes the results from this program they may manually delete the files thinking they are infections and cause their computer to no longer function. Some files that it states are infections are:C:WindowsSystem32svchost.exe
C:WindowsSystem32alg.exe
While running you will also see a constant barrage of false security alerts stating that your computer has a variety of security risks. These risks range from files being modified to private data being sent to a remote host. These alerts, though, are false and are only being shown to further scare you into thinking your infected, when in fact the Antivirus 360 program is the actual infection. Unfortunately, these alerts coupled with the Vundo Trojan will affect your computer's performance and you will notice that it begins to operate slower.
