I have a question about Norton antivirus, does it make my computer slower? Before I installed norton, the amount of memory being used in processes in the task manager was about the same as in performance. But now theres about 100 mb of ram not accounted for in the processes. Should I just get rid of norton and manually scan downloads with another program?
Maybe some please and thank you too, I mean we are all friendly I think. What I use to uninstall programs is Crap Cleaner. It has a utility that allows you to uninstall stuff and choose what you want to run on start up fairly easily.

What, Windows? Get Slax and just save all information to something like a thumb drive or if your hard drive is FAT32 save it there.
Also don't just get Spybot, get Adaware too. Those two together will get just about any spyware or adware you have or will have.

Yeah, 2000 is also good. My laptop has 98se on it and once I get m ubuntu free cd, I'm going to dual boot. My project compy has ME on it (ewww!) so I'll prolly upgrade that.
