and if you have a wireless router follow these tips,








1. Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it's less crackable then WEP.





2. Make a passphrase that is upper %26amp; lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.


some like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.





3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC's can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)





4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.





5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)





6. Change username/password of access unit front end





7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.





8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it :)








one last tip


control panel---administrator tools--services--messenger





right clik on it


stop the service


then disable it


save changes
Reply:Norton
Reply:download Norton AntiVirus 2003 into ur comp. it continuously cleans out ur computer. to prevent anymore virus once its cleared urs. also put in Ad-Aware SE Personal and clean ur computer out with that every 2 weeks or so0... hope this workss
Reply:there is no particular software that has all signature for all the virus. your best bet is to install a couple of diffrent software. i recommend zonlabs and norton.





although mcafee is getting highest ratings right now.
Reply:Ignore the others ...Norton is an anti-virus, not an anti-trojan.
