Norton Running Out; Which Free Antivirus To Download?


Posted by benny

I’ve had Norton Internet Security/antivirus since I bought my computer 3yrs ago. Now my present subscription has just a couple of weeks left, which free software would be my best choice? I have Windows XP Home Edition and do quite a lot of buying online and also Internet banking.
AVG? Avast? Avira? Which one comes out the best and which can I download in the easiest and quickest way possible?
Wish this task wouldn’t appear so daunting on the horizon. I’m so paranoid, I can almost envisage a virus attack inbetween uninstalling Norton and installing new free software.
Please help a lady in distress!!!

Posted by benny

A 2007-06-27 job posting on NYASLA’s web site suggests it’s AutoCAD (see below), but previous Answers have suggested Maya. Have they changed recently? Are those the same package under two different names?
From the listing:

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside our on camera architect and designer in helping them achieve their visions.

How Do I Use Recovery Discs (2 Dvds) To Restore Or To Recover My Computer To Its Original Factory Settings?


Posted by benny

I bought an HP A6540D Desktop Package from a computer store. It has Genuine Windows Vista pre-installed with few HP add-ons. The salesman asked me to buy 2 DVD-R discs and launch a program called “Recovery Disc Creation”. The computer took about 1 hour to finish the writing process. The writing of files on both DVDs were successful. Now, I want to use those discs to recover my PC to its Original Manufacturer Settings. How do I use those disks to recover my PC? The 2 DVDs doesn’t contain any instructions or setup launchers. The computer also said that only one set of recovery disks can be made per PC. Do the trials and OEM software will be re-installed? And do the installed programs will be removed? Please provide a step-by-step procedure on using the 2 Recovery DVD disks! Please also answer the other questions above! Thanks for the reply!
