Also, I gave up on Norton Internet Secuiry(2006), because it was a resource hog, I switched to AVG FREE and ZONE Alarm FREE , BOTH can be downloaded from www.majorgeeks.com

Very smart move. Installing Norton is almost as bad as having a virus itself. AVG is a free, small alternative with minimal overhead. I've seen Norton take up 60MB of RAM doing nothing. AVG is typically less than 10MB. People are so worried about viruses (which are actually quite rare unless you are installing stuff willy nilly) they don't realize they are installing software which takes more power away from the pc than most viruses ever will.
