deuces wild Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Norton Ghost is not an operating system but a program to back up your hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 WARNING! Don't install anything Norton (Symantec) on your system; it will most likely cause you irreparable problems, and is near impossible to remove from your system.If you want a good, free firewall, try COMODO. You must turn off the Windows XP firewall before installing it. However, the COMODO firewall must be properly configured before you can use it. This can be difficult for inexperienced users, so it may be easier to stick with the Windows firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fact, together with nagging from pops, convinced me to reinstall Windows and buy Acronis. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
