Andy,

I didn't know that Norton had a free antivirus. UK side their download is free, but only gives you a limited period before informing you that you will have to pay £30 to continue protection for the remainder of the year, and the same again each year.

If you have just installed it you will need to check that out.

I use AVG free edition, which is really free for home use, updates daily, and picks up all viruses including a number that got past Norton when I had it.

Just a thought.

Broadband is definitely the way to go tho', and with Zonealarm is as safe as any dial-up IMHO.
