I am still using old (2004) Norton’s Password Manager that came with Norton System Works. This is the ONLY Norton utility I use these days.

NPM can be found in the NPM folder on the CD as a standalone install program (NPMSETUP.EXE) (~20MB). Install just it (double click on it). You can even disable installing their Live update during the install.

Make sure you export (backup) you passwords file (yourProfilename.npm) to a known location beforehand. You can than copy that file to all your other computers.

Hi - On one computer, I have been thinking about replacing Norton with all the free stuff - AVG, ZoneAlarn firewall, etc. But then I would lose my password manager also, so was wondering if anyone can recommend a good password manager that is free...something like RoboForm...thanks!

Steve

2. AVG free (problems with 8.0 my husband hears) by Grisoft.

I once had a computer that I could not get onto the local network, couldn't get onto the Internet, etc. Norton and McAfee both said I had no problems.

AVG found 669 files that were corrupted by a Trojan Horse/Worm back in 2003.

Ever since I've had AVG )now have a paid for license ($101.00 and change for 2 years x 5 machines) so download is automatic and updates are as well) I've not been sick at all.

Friend of mine couldn't get on the Internet, told her she had a virus/worm and I dowloaded AVG free 7.0 onto a flash drive/memory stick thing, she installed it on her computer, it found a worm, fixed it and now she's up and running again.

Using XP Pro, my email client (Outlook Express) is working intermittently and IE 7 is very sluggish. I expect the email problems are caused by IE7.

I have had some issues with my virus software and email before .... and recently noticed in Consumer Repoerts it was rated quite poorly. I am using Computer Associates software (It's free, but maybe that's all its worth).

Two questions:

1. Has anyone notices sluggish / slow opration of IE7 that you can attribute to antivirus?

2. Any recommendation for Secirity software?

Thanks
