I keep getting viruses in winxp and i will not update because it seems to mess up my pc. Norton cant seem to get rid of them so I am looking for the best possible firewall i can find. Any suggestions.
Um...a firewall will do almost nothing to stop viruses from infecting your computer. Maybe if you're more specific as to why you think you have a/many viruses...Norton is detecting them, but cannot get rid of them? Have you tried any other antivirus scanners?
Well I was in a hurry when I wrote this. When I update winxp my pc just slows down in fps and programs seem to quit working. I keep getting viruses for just being online even if no browser is open. Norton tells me I have them but it cant remove them. I scan my HD and it dont find anything. I keep getting a virus thats called Gaobotxx. Theres letters before and after that but cant remember what they are. The xx is various but its usually AO. When I get this virus it wont go away and norton detects it when I scan. It infects my winnhelp file or something like that. I fisgured if I got a firewall I would just get these viruses.
norton is decting them it is just not detecting them in the system scan because it cant CLEAN them so it quarantines them and are therefore not in the scan
the slowing down part is probobly ad/spyware related you should get ad-aware and spybot to get rid of them and run them often
if you dont have a firewall i would say zone alarm and if you dont want to renew your norton subscription i would get avg
PS dont know the links off the top of my head but a simple google can find them
Linear Mode
