    I have a new Dell XPS 420 system with all the "whistles and bells" including Vista Ultimate. I have an updated Norton Anti Virus program. I have heard from a few people in the know that this may not be the best AV system for Vista. How do you feel about this?:eek:

    Thanks, Schaeffdog

    YOU ARE RIGHT!!!Norton is BIG resource hog(it will eat your memory like crazy) and it's not effective like in prottection your computer,so my advice:uninstall norton with this:http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

    and install Avast :http://www.majorgeeks.com/Avast_Home_Edition_d1968.html or AVG antivirus: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=886 ,for firewall use COMODO:http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html
    GOOD LUCK!!!!!

    Thank you for your advice however Avast and Comodo web sites do not mention Vista as being an OS they cover.
