Dear Help group,

My Computer is Windows 98 SE, AMD, Athlon XP 1800+, 384 MB RAM

I protect it with Norton Anti-Virus 2001 (always updated with new def.),
Zone Alarm firewall, Spybot S&D, Adaware.

My question is about the Norton Anti Virus. When I purchased the first
annual def. update it was about $ 9.00. the next year it was about $ 19.00.

Am I doing the correct things to protect my PC?

Yes. I can't see much more you *can* do - as long as you keep all the
programs up to date, of course.

Should I continue to
purchase the Norton AV updates or switch to another software protection?

I'm biased on the subject of Norton anyway, after a multitude of bad
experiences in the last year or so.

As PA Bear says, you could try AVG from Grisoft or, better still (IMO),
Avast! (www.avast.com). Both free, regular updates.

HTH
