Tried uninstalling Nort. and installing AVG, but forgot to disable norton prior to the uninstall this morning OOPS! anyhoo I'm back to factory and any help is greatly appreciated. thx |

restored your computer to factory default, so downloading and installing any of them should not be a problem. You should install an additional anti-spyware scanner, even though you already have one in Windows Defender. Vista's firewall will probably do just fine for you, but if you want a third-party one there are free alternatives. Remember to patch up your OS and enable the router firewall if you have one.
