How am I going?

[olldays]

Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this thread in the right place. I just want to ask if I am using the right programs. At the moment I am currently running NOD32 anti virus, AdAware SE and my ol' fave Reg Cleaner. I was running Norton but as Jomama advised its a bit of a hog.
Furthermore, has anyone ever had problems running File Share programs. I can download and run Kazaa and Win MX but I only do so because I cannot run Bear Share, Morpheus or Lime Wire. I am getting install error messages. Their on line forums have been no help.

Also trying doing a Google search for Spybot. Sometimes AdAware does not pick up all of the spyware that has been left on your computer. Otherwise you look fine!

Personally, I do not mess with those file sharing programs. Number one, too much trouble to get yourself into and Kazaa is super bad. The program is hard to uninstall and leaves ghost images of itself all over the hard drive. I have seen many computer hard drives fail due to this.

NOD32 is a very good AV system, and combined with Adaware and Spybot S&D 1.3, your computer is pretty safe. Also, it's probably best to stay clear of file sharing programs - I know here, I'm reiterating what Acid Klutch said, but they can mess up your computer, especially KaZaa.

Hope that helps,
