I'm using spy sweeper, Does Norton's anti virus do the same thing?

Answer 1

No spy sweeper is a software scanner for detecting spyware, adware. Norton's which is pure garbage an a resource hog of your system is an antivirus software program. Actually does not detect anything if you install. There are alot of free antivirus program that are far superior in techology. Below is a link to the free AOL, for life active virus shield. You don't have to be a member to download the software. The antivirus program is powered by Kaspersky Labs., Russia, rated #1 in the world for virus detection. You get updates every hour an a real time background scanner. I use this software in my own systems.

Plus if you don't have a firewall you need a really good free home for personal use firewall. ZoneAlarm. http://www.zonealarm.com

Hope the info., helps you. By the way, you can run three or four antispyware programs without conflict. You can only run one antivirus program or you will have serious conflict with your system.

I use four antispyware programs as one will find what the others may miss. If you need the free links email me.
