never heared of novel before, is it open source?I think linux is the most safe Os around at the moment, its open source so bugs are fixed very fast, and not that many people use it so there are almost no virus or spyware writers that target it.

i would suggest you buy an amd processor if you use your computer for gaming, it will give you beter performance for a lower price.If you run many 'heavy' programs like photoshop you should go with intel.And you better wouldn't buy xeon processor, they are designed for server and they costs way to much for an average home user.

I don't wanna be rude or anything, but do you people actualy know what you are talking about? I'm not a norton user (i kinda hate norton) and even i know whats wrong w32.bloodhound: bloodhound is the part of norton antivirus that is designed to detect unknown viruses, its not a virus itself, its an alert to tell you an unknow virus is found (it could be a false positive), i suggest you update your antivirus defenitions and you do a scan in safe mod (if you don't know how, just ask me ) if it isn't gone then, do an online scan like the one of panda antivirus. this program would be spyware, i suggest you download ad-aware (use google) and a trial version of spysweeper and you clean your computer with those to. good luck

I use Look'n'stop Firewall, its a nice small firewall thats very light on resources, when you use its basic configuration, its rather bad, but you can do many changes to make it one of the best firewalls around. But most firewalls protect you well, it doesn't realy mater wich one you chose, its how you configure it, a firewall is as strong as its configuration.

you must be a rich person if you can buy all that sofware, personaly, i don't think you still need hitman pro if you already got most of those pro versions... spysweeper and spywaredoctor 3.x are already enough, combined with spywareblaster and IE spyad.

i use windowsblinds from stardock, its a realy great skining program, im very fond of it

I'll buy a xbox360 when i get the chance, it has great specs, it is supposed to be less expensive than the ps3 and im used to having an xbox now and the free online gaming looks great

if you want to get rid of spyware and be well protected, there is an easy way Download hitman pro its a great piece of software that combines all good free spyware solutions like: Ad-Aware SE 1.06 Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 Spy Sweeper 3 en 4(trial) Spyware Doctor 3.2(lite version) CWShredder 2.15 SpywareBlaster 3.4 (prevents spyware from installing) Spyware Block List (also prevention) Sysclean Package SuperDAT VirusScan hitman pro is a shell around all these antispyware programs, you hit update once and all this software gets update (the same if you hit scan ), it takes a while to scan whole your computer, but when its finished, you can be certain your system is clean

Like xite said: Norton takes alot of resources, an mcaffee just doesn't look nice, but if i had to choose between those 2 it would be mcaffee because it uses less resources and it has better detection rates than norton. But if i had to advice you an antivirus, it would be nod32 for sure, great heuristics (the capabilty to detect unknow viruses) its ]B]very[/b] light on resources and it has got lots of other great featurs that make it better than the rest.

Mine is (supposed to be) 4.6 mb downstream and aubout 40 kb upstream, the download speeds are good enough, but if i want to upload something it takes for ages

I think it wouldn't be smart to remove it, cause how are you going to use windows update without IE and like snlildude87 said, there are IE only sites.
