Online Protection is good, Antivirus, Antispy, and Personal Firewall doesn't work?

For some reason, Norton Antispyware, Norton Antivirus, and Norton Personal Firewall are not installing on my computer. Whenever I reach the AT%26amp;T Yahoo! Software Center, the only software that gets installed is the Online Protection itself and when I click the Online Protection, it says that the Antispyware, Antivirus, and Personal Firewall, are "Not Installed". If anyone knows how I can properly install Online Protection, please reply.

I have AT%26amp;T but I will not use their norton here is what I suggest





PCTools products do get good reviews. The good thing is they have free versions of their products. They work great. Spyware Doctor from the Google pack is a must. I highly recommend it. I bought Webroots Spysweeper and spyware doctor finds stuff spysweeper does not. Having both is a perfect combo and I recommend





running two anti-spyware products.

You can do an online scan for viruses and spyware for free from the major vendors. Some of these require Internet Explorer to run





because of Active-X

Its good to run two anti-spywares even if some extra resources are taken.





SuperAntiSpyware does an excellent job. AVG's full version gets great reviews.

Anti-Spyware for a cost.


Personally I bought Webroot's Spysweeper, their product is great and well worth the money. Watch Best Buy ads because sometimes it goes on sale for $10 to $15.

There are free anti-virus scanners availble. They work well. I like AVG and PCTools anti-viruses the best of the free anti-virus programs.


If you are not willing to spend money it is good to have some kind of anti-virus software

This is my recommendation for anti-virus. Free are good, but they are not as accurate as the top paid anti-virus software





Top-Tier
