Hi,

Not been n this one before as I tend to be on General Gassing all the time, but need some advice. I have on my mate's recommendation, changed my anti-virus/system works, from Norton to Panda and have recently accquired Spyblocker to replace Ad-Watch. Also have changed my browser to Opera, which, so far I'm impressed with it as there are so many options.
Question 1: Choices correct?
Question 2: Should I keep my Steganos Security and MS Browser?
And any further comments/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stew..

Choices sound fine, if it works and youre happy with it stick with it. Opera is a good browser although I havent used it for a while. You're in a very small minority but I never really found to many compatibilty issues when using it.

Prefer FireFox to Opera. Simply because it doesn't have the advert bar......

Until reading this thread I hadn't heard of either of these browsers. Especially like the mouse gestures plugins available.

Going straight onto my PC when I get home!

My own personal combination is Opera, ZoneAlarm, McAfee and Pest Patrol (similar to AdAware and SpyBot but better IMHO).

No conflicts, it all works as advertised and bug free for over 3 years.

Firefox for me.

I really love that tabbed browsing, and it loads the pages fast, much nicer than i.e
