OK, so i'm fed up with Norton and would like to replace it with other apps
I have known for a while that Norton takes up a lot of resources, but havent been too bothered until now as i just, upgrade the memory cpu etc. But most of our computers here are ancient and i would like to see what kind of difference removing Norton from them would have.
I have started using Tuneup Utilities, which is superb and easily replaces Norton Utilities, plus i have O&ODefrag.
I don't use Norton's firewall because i find it too much of a pain to configure, i used to like Neowatch, but have now switched to the free Sygate one - or can you recommend another? And no, the windows one will not do.
Which leads me to Anti-virus software... i have been looking around at reviews and it seems the BitDefender seems to be the best and also has a firewall, is this the case?
Is there another good alternative to Norton Ghost? I use this a lot and having the ability to back up disks then being able to view and extract the contents in Windows when required pretty much essential.
Cheers
