Re: Really need computer help
NIC = Network card
I would say 500MHz with 128megs of ram and an low use hard drive.
But you could make due with any pentium class processor and 64megs of ram. Old hard drives die, so using one in a 24/7/365 system is asking to rebuild it. And a 20 gig is like $35 these days.

Re: Really need computer help
I have an old PII 333 with 384meg of RAM. Would that work?

Re: Really need computer help
This is the sort of thing that makes me very happy that I'm the only one who even touches my computer.
Sorry I can't offer any assistance, but while I'm not computer illiterate, I'm also not as skilled as the other people here obviously are.

Re: Really need computer help
I agree, I have Spybot-S&D and it found viruses and trojans that NAV missed. I know, NAV! BUT as mentioned already, once norton is on your computer it'll take a hard drive crash to get it off. 
I too am really happy I don't need to setup different users on my computer. I know a few people who have the whole family on it and the computer spends more time down then running. Viruses don't seem to care about who's using the damn thing, they just wreak havoc on the whole system. |

Re: Really need computer help
Symantec now provides a Norton removal tool on their web site, though it is buried very deeply...

Re: Really need computer help
Spybot and Pestpatrol don't like each other but they do work well in combination with one another.

Re: Really need computer help
I had to do it the hard way... line for line in the Registry.... that was an utter nightmare.
So why don't people like Nortan? For me its a resource hog and mostly likely creates is own virus in order to justify its existence.
