Loss of External Harddrive

Well windows 7 has only been released in beta stage... kinda hard to get the key too... i'm kinda curious about eset so I would go for that but it's not many swedish stores that sells it..

this may sound stupid but what's the actual difference between an antivirus software and internet security?

Internet security provides multiple security solutions like Firewall, Antispyware, Antivirus, Anti Phishing etc.

An antivirus, simply protects you from viruses and online threats.

Its easy to get windows 7 beta key, just sign up a live email account and go to microsoft website to get your key. Or else u can find those public keys around the websites.(legal key given by microsoft for beta uses)

You think it's necessary to have both or is antivirus enough?

It's enough as long as you have 1 antivirus, 1 firewall, 1 antispyware. Do not have more than one of those if not they will cause conflict and problems to your system. As for the Windows 7 Keys, wait till 5th May, MS is releasing the RC.

Is norton 2009 faster than the previous versions? Also, what's the difference between 2009 and 360?

I heard that you needed vista to install windows 7 at the moment... is vista really that bad?

U dont need to download vista to use windows 7, u can torrent it now because Microsoft removed the download from its website.

Norton 360 - internet security
Norton Antivirus 2009 - Anti-Virus

Why use norton if there are much better software out there?

which harddrive is the best one?

Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB
eSata 3 Gb/s, 32MB Cache, 7200RPM

WD Caviar GP WD5000AACS 500GB
SATA-300 / GreenPower / 16MB

such as nod32?

Yep

When the time expires, how much will it cost to upgrade nod32?

EDIT: Please answer my previous question about harddrives too
And did you mean to download the OS through piracy? Isn't that kinda risky (not to get caught but the risk that it won't work proper)

Its not illegal to torrent windows, it illegal to use illegal keys.

Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB
eSata 3 Gb/s, 32MB Cache, 7200RPM is better(higher cache) but notice it uses Esata which is for external HD uses.

Yeah I know it uses higher cache but I thought that wouldn't matter since the other one is greenpower... but how can an intern harddrive be external?

EDIT: and i have no idea where to get a vista/windows 7 key..

ESATA is SATA which is used connected to outside of your case through an ESATA port, external uses.
