Question
I am using XP Pro and first level Norton.
I visit news groups, Web sites etc.
Am I protected enough?
Advice appreciated.
regards  Vic

Answer
Hi Vic,

When you say first level Norton, what do you mean? If your copy of NAV is up todate and you run a virus scan once a week, you should be protected.

Norton usually sends out new protection on Wednesday evenings, so Thursday mornings would be a good time to schedule a virus scan.

Hope this helps!

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

Experience

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
