Could you please give a numbered list of actions which I would undertake to set up AVAST 4.5 Home for optimal performance?
Just my opinion here, but Avast Home should be left as is once installed. The default settings work just fine.
Could you tell me if an animated mouse pointer may slow my internet down, or cause problems of any kind?!?!
No,not at all. An animated mouse is really a play toy which uses little more of the computer than a normally wired mouse or even an infared (no wires) mouse.
some advice about Windows Firewall Settings would be greatly appreciated.
For users who want a good firewall without the hassel of settings and configurations, I would install Zone Alarm. It is simple to install, very stable, and easy to use.
Don’t forget to use SpywareGuard also!! It compliments SpywareBlaster.
Good luck.
