Advice buyers of new computers

Posted by Feanor on May 15, 2008 at 07:26:47:
Not Bambi B's problem exactly, but for new buyers my earnest advice is to immediately delete all Norton programs; also delete all trialware you aren't going to want, especially anything & everything from Microsoft.

I did this on a low-cost computer my mother, (age 89), bought and performance was much improved. I installed AVG free anti-virus and Open Office 2.3 to replace the bloatware.
