Okay. Norton? Is a shitty piece of bloatware. I've heard opinions that a virus infection would probably use *less* resources. What's a good, free anti-virus program? I'm using Avira AntiVir, which is available for free; I don't know whether there's a Spanish version, sadly, but an English one can be found here. Question: Do you have the an up-to-date system? With that I mean: Do you patch your Windows XP? Do you have your firewall enabled? If your using Firefox, I'd like to recommend the NoScript extension. That thing blocks all scripts (which is a major security problem), but you're able to activate them on a per-case base (which is necessary, because many sites need javascript, for example). (Oh, but you wouldn't have to tell your *brother* how to do that...) Please do *not* use the Internet Explorer in any version below 7. Recommendation: Opera 9 or Firefox 2. IE 7 *is* more secure than IE 6, but still, due to its popularity, it's a rather big target.
