You could do that, I initially had Norton and when it ran out I just got one of the free AV's that many recommend in this forum...
I have this one, try it to start with and we can discuss alternatives a bit later...

Use your computer's search to look for Norton & Symantic...you might find a few things still hanging around.

jimbo-ice,
Do you by any chance have the NetSafe security package as part of your Atlantic Broadband service (see the link below)?
http://atlantic.highspeed.com/

That also has a firewall. I'm running out of ideas here
You could search your comp for NetSafe...see if anything shows up. Or have a look on your documents from your ISP, you might find some info to tell you whether you have that package.

forgot to mention, I did a system recovery thing earlier and when it asks what type of internet I had I put DSL, I think last time I put LAN, i rally dont have a clue what it is but the way they described dsl sounded more like cable then the LAN did, also, when i was supposed to put in my ip address and all that I left it blank.... I was lost bigtime by this time, maybe that has something to do with Limewire and other P2p connections?
