Remember I said; anything FREE, doesn't really works.
There are no FREE things or services.
Hmm, in Singapore no free things.
But AVG+Zonealarm combo kills.
If you do not want to use, please feel free to burn your wallet on useless bloated crap like Norton 2002 and above. Symantec ruined Norton Antivirus and Firewall after the 2001 version.

Good antiviruses can detect all viruses. AVG beat Norton in price, speed and memory consumption.
You also do not need to pay every year for some crap Norton updates.

Increase your RAM so you can run Norton Internet Security 2006, afterall, next year, Windows VISTA (64bit) will be released and needs to run on at least 1Gb of RAM, and a 64bit platform.
stingy now, spend more next year!
Norton 2006 is same as 2005, but with a little features added. Its speed, memory requirement remains the same. Moreover,
Norton cannot be uninstalled completely if you use the Add/Remove Programs. It will most likely crash your PC or ruin your Windows installation. You will have to use the SymNRT tool.

the 1 Gb requirement is more credible, i've heard the figure before.
Windows Vista
comes in 32-bit and 64-bit flavours. 32-bit processers like the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition can beat the AMD Athlon 64 (non-FX)

Yes, but.. well, Microsoft just refuses to rebuild the NT core. They just want profits.
