Vista should have better security. However, your old hardware in the computer may not support Vista if you decide to upgrade. I am using XP SP2 and it's ok. As long as you have a good anti-virus sw installed and run anti-spy like yahoo anti-spy (once a week) to clean up your tracking cookies, your computer should be ok. Also, enable XP firewall is always better to protect your computer.
Vista is still unstable and has compatibility problems especially with peripherals. Improving security is not a good reason to move to Vista. There are plenty of free virus and adware eliminating programs available. I recommend AVG anti virus and Zone Alarm (google them). Win Patrol is excellent for more advanced users. If you use Zone Alarm and AVG you will need to turn off Windows firewall, which is pretty much useless anyway.
Get yourself At least Norton's antivirus software 2007, then turn on your windows firewall if it isn't on! You can do so by going into your computers control panel!

Loaded up Vista over XP. Now want XP back. Cannot get it back. Computer is locked up. What can I do?

Cannot get xp back. Vista security has locked up computer and Microsoft wont help.

I have seen this problem before. I used an old windows 98 boot disk and re-format the hard drive the old fashion way with fdisk. once you have completed that set your BIOS 1st boot device to CDROM and put your XP disk in the drive...reboot and when prompted to boot from disk do so, then follow the instructions. I did this for a friend with the same issue. worked great.

Oh and please don't go to the Geek Squad, they do NOT know what they are doing. They keep me in business following them around fixing their mistakes!

Okay, some of what that guy said makes no sense because it's already very clear that you have already HAD XP on the computer... so what you should do is locate the XP disc that came with the computer. When you start your computer, enter the boot menu and change your boot order to boot from the CD drive first. It should restart, pop the XP CD into your computer and follow the instructions to reinstall XP. It's not that complicated. If all else fails, go to BestBuy %26 pay the GeekSquad to do it, they know what they're doing.

I may be wrong but if I am not mistaken you will have to go back to the sites (or if you have the cd) and redownload them. You will not have to pay for them again but you will have to download it on to your computer again. I know it agervating but sometimes it is well worth it.

Can you use limewire or the other sources when you have norton antivirus on your computer?

I tried using limewire but nothing would come up and i think it had something to do with the security protection on my computer, it said to add limewire to a non-blocking list? but it didnt seem to work i would search for a song and nothing

Can you use limewire or the other sources when you have norton antivirus on your computer?virus scanner

yes and it should catch any corrupt files.

Why my IE 6.0 Security settings mucked up?

----------------------------------------...

When any of the websites i go on need to use activeX, especially windows update, i get a yellow information bar telling me that my security settings do not allow websites to access activeX's stored on my computer. When i set my security settings, including cookies, too a lower level its still says the same message. I tried resseting internet explorer settings but that didn't do anything either. Any suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds as if your firewall settings are blocking those...Try going into preferences of firewall and check the settings

Is computer being hacked?

When I switched on my computer today, my norton internet security suite displaying message "New network detected" giving the IP address and Gateway Mac numer.

Its asking me to set up connection. Does it mean my computer is being attacked? Please tell me what to do?

re -configure your computer and never change your ip gateway. it could be a virus attack. generally hackers do not tell that they are hacking you.

in any case all of us are always pron to hacking as soon as we connect to the internet.

Try using SpyBot or Ad-Aware professional.

These are free for personal use.

Scan your PC. These software can tell about dailers and hijacker programs installed

That would stink.. Don't set up that address.. you could be right
NO!!! Why asking this??
