<<Sorry to bomb the list.  But some of you guys know your shit when it comes to this stuff.>>

Just a tad, Mark<G>!!  Hate to admit it but I started with DOS and thought I had died and gone to Heaven when WinDoz came out (HOW naive is THAT>><G>)!!

<<I will be switching to high speed internet that comes with MacAfee anti virus.>>

Guess what you get when it's "free"??  LOL    crap.

<<Should I totally delete the Norton anti virus that I have on my computer now>>

Does so just on general principle.  BTDT.

<< or can they be used together.   I am guessing that running them together is a
bad idea.>>

As John said, Nope.

<<Also are the firewalls that come with high speed  sufficient enough for
protection or is additional protection necessary.>>

Just forget the "free" crap<G>!!
 
<<I have been on dial up since 95,>> 

As the teeny boppers say today, OMG!!!  LOL

<< I am a total  high speed virgin.>>

But NOT LBCs<G>!!

As soon as you are set-up go to:   http://shop.ca.com/
and purchase the "Security Suite" and install.  Having the disc is really NOT necessary as their re-download policy is GREAT.   You actually (like most) get more than you "need".  I only opt to install the Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Anti-Spyware, and Firewall (which is actually Trend's Zone Alarm).

With Norton & McAfee I have had more "freezes"/"crashes" than I have turned nuts & bolts.  I have been thru AVG, and lots more.

I have NEVER (knock on wood<G>) has ANY problems with C.A.!!!  NEVER!!  That is testament in it self.  IMO, adding a router is useless unless you have more than 1 box.  If you on/off want to use a lap-top ALSO than router IS a good idea.  (I have 4 boxes so router required<G>!!

A retired gent from GM IT that is now in business of fixing 'puters/software turned me on to C.A. over TEN years ago and I have NEVER, no NEVER regretted it!!!

Guess you can tell I AM a happy camper & user with NFI (damnit!!)!!
