Hey guys I'm thinking on putting Norton 2014 internet security on my desktop running W7 and my laptop running W7 is it better I bank and shop so I'm looking for a good software it doesn't seem too use a lot of usage of CPU or ram just wondering if anybody using it also
whats the best software for Windows 7 desktop for online shopping and banking
Norton Internet Security (NIS) is an excellent AV program. I am using it since years. It uses few resources and is very effective fighting malware.
I am not aware of any specific software for on-lins shopping. You do your on-line shopping thru the appropriate webpages - e.g. Amazon, Newegg, etc.
I would strongly advise against on-line banking. That is too dangerous. If you really have to do it, use a Linux system (virtual or from a stick). That gives you better protection.
Thanks I took off Norton did some googling and it says to use Rapport from your bank and Microsoft's malware tool and Microsoft Security Essentials for free antivus
I reccomend you use Norton or Avast and Malwarebytes. Remember to disable auto quarantine because false positives can be found and removed. Run scans on each on DIFFERENT day for each every week. If they run at the same time, they can detect each other and mess everything up.
How about if I just dual boot W7 with Linux and use Linux for my banking and windows for my everyday stuff
how about free avg or the paid ver. of Norton internet security
Norton Internet Security is way worth it if you want to use some money. AVG used to be one of the best AVs but they seem to be getting worse. If you don't want to pay, AVAST is one of the best free AVs that you can use that have real time protection shields (not firewalls, in my opinion the default Windows Firewall is good enough.)
thanks I only thought on Norton internet security because of it being av, malware, safe site advisory, and password protect but I use rapport and micosofts malware malware tool or malwarebytes
Running Linux in virtual is much better. A lot easier to operate and to install - and it does the same thing. Here is a video demo how to run Linux in virtual on a Windows 7 host.
