What many people fail to realise is that system resources are measured in %.
So if you have a process that uses 20% resources and you double your ram, the process still uses 20%, but twice as much of it.Service recovery 02392 899292
You got 3 right!
D'oh! Not good, dude.

Nod32 great best one I have ever used or bought for that matter and unlike NewsreadeR I am not selling
I can say the same for OutPost as well and cannot wait for v4 to be released, I got sick of ZoneAlarm getting more and more bloated and I still have a years subscription on it as well.Ray
Some Advice.. Its always advisable to inform your old ISP as soon as you have migrated that you have moved.

It has 12months. But why change for the sake of it. If you're happy with your existing software why have the hassle of learning a new one that is not all that great from what I've heard.

@ the end of the day it all comes down to what peoples personal tastes are and the ability of there system to handle the various loads put on it by any security software and most learn by trial and error and all the advice in the world will do little or no good to most.
