I use Spyware blaster, Spybot, and NoAdware for spyware removal.

I got rid of Norton Internet Security and now have just Norton Antivirus 2005.

I use Internet Explorer.... and I use the Norton Antivirus firewall that comes with Norton Antivirus 2005 instead of my Windows Firewall.

Does the above look okay?

........ ....... .......... .........

Yesterday my computer was at that point where it would not restart, so I decided to just leave it and go on about my business.... then I ran the Ewido Secuity Center scan... and after that, my computer restarted fine! Ewido found 9 things that I deleted... they were mostly registry things and cookies/temp files.

Anyway.... I will wait another day to see if the restart problem keeps happening since I got rid of Norton Internet Security.

Thanks, Nikki
