Thanks to everyone for your answers. Last year I decided to upgrade to the newest version of both NIS and SystemWorks for the first time in 3 or 4 years ( as Howard noted, it has been getting some great reviews ). Symantec has now added an enhanced password manager ( called Identity Safe ) to NIS and removed the password manager from SystemWorks. I tried to upgrade the products one at a time, NIS first, and if I remember correctly I could not install the new NIS until I had removed the old password manger first. Just a heads up in case you are ever thinking of doing something similar...

This is the ONLY Norton utility I use these days. NPM can be found in the NPM folder on the CD as a standalone install program (NPMSETUP.EXE) (~20MB). Install just it (double click on it). You can even disable installing their Live update during the install. Make sure you export (backup) you passwords file (yourProfilename.npm) to a known location beforehand. You can than copy that file to all your other computers. -- Joseph Biran ____________________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Dugas Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 3:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [amibroker] OT: PC security / Virus protection Hi - On one computer, I have been thinking about replacing Norton with all the free stuff - AVG, ZoneAlarn firewall, etc. But then I would lose my password manager also, so was wondering if anyone can recommend a good password manager that is free...something like RoboForm...thanks!

AVG free (problems with 8.0 my husband hears) by Grisoft. I once had a computer that I could not get onto the local network, couldn't get onto the Internet, etc. Norton and McAfee both said I had no problems. AVG found 669 files that were corrupted by a Trojan Horse/Worm back in 2003. Ever since I've had AVG )now have a paid for license ($101.00 and change for 2 years x 5 machines) so download is automatic and updates are as well) I've not been sick at all. Friend of mine couldn't get on the Internet, told her she had a virus/worm and I dowloaded AVG free 7.0 onto a flash drive/memory stick thing, she installed it on her computer, it found a worm, fixed it and now she's up and running again.

I expect the email problems are caused by IE7. I have had some issues with my virus software and email before .... and recently noticed in Consumer Repoerts it was rated quite poorly. I am using Computer Associates software (It's free, but maybe that's all its worth). Two questions: 1. Has anyone notices sluggish / slow opration of IE7 that you can attribute to antivirus? 2. Any recommendation for Secirity software? Thanks Ara
