    Norton 2009 seems to be showing promise

    As a many-year Zone Alarm user, I switched over to NIS 2008 last year because I got tired of the pop-ups and poor Vista support from ZA. Just installed NIS 2009 a few days ago and I must say, the install was fast, no problems at all, and it is VERY light on resources. Kudos to the development...

    Need Backup solution for my p/c

    I use Acronis to image my system drive on a monthly basis and recommend it for full images. Syncback SE from 2Brightsparks (http://www.2brightsparks.com) works great for my data drive, though. It synchronizes directories very nicely, and I have it scheduled daily and it runs without a hitch...

    Vista Sleep: Sometimes works, sometimes restarts

    First, make sure S3 sleep is enabled in the BIOS (at least that's the way the setting is expressed in my Asus P5B-Deluxe MB), but either way, that's not what's causing the crash. I had almost the exact same problem for many months. Have you updated your Creative sound card drivers to the...

    Best security suite for VISTA- 32 bit

    I've had good luck with NIS 2008 as well (minimal performance hit, "silent" with no pop-ups, no problems with any viruses/spyware - all on a fast machine with a lot of memory, though, so YMMV), but if you like ZoneAlarm and have an up-to-date license, they have a public beta out there that's...
