Right then , tonight i got so pissed off with my laptop i decided to re install vista. I dont think ive done it right but its working and thats all im arsed about. I think the reson it was going so slow was because of Norton 2008 .. so i would be really happy if someone could tell me what anti virus software to get.
Thanks very much.

Anti-virus.
NOD32 is meant to be the dog's b***ocks when it comes to anti-virus protection.
After trying out a few on the market im happy with AVG Free edition atm..auto-updates itself and ye dont need to worry about memory or cpu usage out of it..it takes up very little of either.
Firewalls.
The one im currently using atm is Sygate firewall pro..which i "purchased" from the internet obv.
If your looking for a free one i would recommend Comodo firewall theres a free upgrade to pro offer on just now.
Obviously everyone has thier own personal prefrences just a matter of finding the right balance and which ones you prefer yourself.
Hope this helps
