NAV 2k4, and NAV 2k4 pro; does anyone know the major diffrences between the 2?
Also, What about Norton Personal firewall? I'm starting to get pissed from my Zone Alarm app.

The Pro version of NAV now includes shit to trash your hard drive completely, meaning no longer do you have to worry about the possibility of recovering data. It also slows your system to a crawl faster than any previous version of Norton.

The Pro version of NAV includes a data recovery thingy that lets you restore important stuff that you may have accidently deleted.
And a data smasher that deletes all traces of files you don't want the po po to find (eg. your masses of teen girl porn stored in your My Documents folder at this very minute).
Norton Personal Firewall is OK, one of the better software firewalls on the market. Although I still have a problem with the whole cost v. free issue.

"I still have a problem with the whole cost v. free issue."
yeah, speaking of that....
I'm assuming that NAV phones home when it tires to update virus definitions. Does it rat me out? How does retriving current definitions work, w/ a warez copy?

hmm...the only two things I would never run a warez copy on my computer of are
a) Firewall
b) Anti Virus Package
It's just asking for trouble. What's to say the programs haven't been altered some way to make them look as though they are working while giving someone else complete access to your system?

Different context, but check NOD32. Heard alot of good about it. Don't use it, personally; I have always used NAV (cringe) myself. Currently using 2K3, and it's OK for me on 98SE. The console is way slow as fuck though.
Remember, firewalls (software *especially*) and AV's are not the highest , best, whatever protection you can get for home use. I'm glad people are catching on to spyware scanners. There's also trojan scanners as well (those custom made programs just for trojan scans). IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems) might be going to far for home usage (too much time spent deciphering logs, etc.) b/c nobody I know runs IDS or trojan scanners @ home.
