HELP! My cable modem is running slower than dialup!

I recommend you remove nortons firewall, it's not exactly friendly and can be buggy.

Figures.

I would remove NIS totally and use Zonealarm - the free version, there isn't mch difference between that and the $40 one.

Can I find this at download.com?

Of course, if you're behind a router you don't need to use a software firewall if your router has NAT enabled - mine does, but I'm paranoid so I run Zonealarm also.

At home, no router.

So let's see...

SpyBot - check
Ad-Aware - check
Spyware Guard - check
Zonealarm - to do

Ugh.
