go to DOWNLOADS.COM and down load the free AVG virus protection...then you can decide if you want to buy nortons later.
also download Adaware and use it a few times a day...

Yes... you need a good antivirus program that you keep up to date. You might also consider an ad-ware program

You need a basic Antivirus indeed to protect against viruses, etc.

you definately need a antivirus program, firewall, anti spyware, and i'd also recommend pop up blocker..... check out pcmagazine.com and see what they recommend for these... as for a seperate defragger i'd say ditch it... all those optimize programs just screw your pc up in the long run.... trust me... been there and sone that.... also the free ones are exactly that, you get what you pay for...

norton would be a good idea, but as long as you have a router firewall and windows firewall running - and you are safe online, you should be okay

I use McAfee firewall and virus protection. I am happy with their service.
