Norton ran a free scan on my computer and said that I have no protection on my computer. My computer has been acting upward, I got the freezes and just plain closed down it is slow (I do not have the high speed internet is Hughes net) but should be even faster as it is, I am not at all computer smart and I can't afford to get protection I don't know what to do!

Download and install microsoft security essentials from the link below and run it. It's a free protection provided by microsoft and it's effective enough for the average user.

NOTE: Do not forget to select the version appropriate for your system.

You may need to update your system with the latest service pack if you have not already done so.

To find out what service pack you have installed. Click the Start button, click Run, and in the box, type winver, and then click ok. the page that opens should tell you what version of windows and the service pack is installed.

On the free norton scan, don't do it unless you are absolutely sure it is the real thing. I've never heard of norton providing unsolicited free scan.

Good luck.
