Linux is very different from Windows even if it's trying to catch up it still don't have the same softwares.\nOf course you will find all you need on the internet, software that is mostly free and that replaces your usual software. For exemple you won't find Microsoft office on linux but you can find open office...\nYou can find Java, not really sure but probably macromedia flash... For adobe I don't know which soft you use but if it's only for acrobate reader you have softs like xpdf that displays a pdf file, you may find the gimp that's used to work on pictures...\n\nFor the configuration let's tell you high and clear, it's a completly different thing... You won't find anything exactly has it was on windows, so you can't take your windows configuration, save it and put it back for linux...\n\nThat's about it...\nGood luck

Software that your computers operating system needs to operate. You should not need to mess with these. Just pretend they dont exist

Check the Norton web site for that utility. It's a norton extension.

Ignore Susan J's answer. She's a spamming skankbot who's shilling for software with a very shady past.\n\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10658514~mode=flat\nhttp://castlecops.com/postp215483.html\nhttp://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showtopic=8615

Sygate works well also and it is freeware.\n\n <edit> But there are other areas of compromise so you may want to research about securing your computer. </edit>

Yes, unless you have a good antivirus program installed.\nHere you have some free antivirus programs:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/

Most flavours have "live disc" available which allow you to run and experiment without having to install (ie, booting from disc). Have a play with a few and see which suits you best. The only 'nix version I ever really liked was SUSE, but have had to stick with Windows in the end - couldn't do my job on Linux ...too many software limitations

Best solution: convert to a dual-boot system - Linux and Windows - and STOP USING WINDOWS ON THE INTERNET. Download the Big Daddy ISO from http://pclinuxos.com/ and burn the ISO and boot the CD. You can repartition the hard drive and create a dual-boot system with no harm to your data - and access all the pictures, etc. from Linux.\n\nI just recovered a Windows XP system that I consider typical. Full of photos and music, but with about 30 gigs left. Used 10 gigs for Linux. Removed 226 distinct malware package TYPES (well over 1,000 files) of malware, mostly using the free Spybot program at http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html but be careful, many try to get you to download their malware by having web sites and programs of similar names. BTW, I consider Adware as just more spyware, not a removal tool.\n\nRemoved Symantec and all other "protection" software. Added AGV Free antivirus from http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1 , but configured it in manual mode. It was interesting to me that I found NO VIRUS on her system. Virus attacks are rare these days because malware is so much more efficient for the spam factories. Added Windows Firefox and upgraded to IE 7, and ended up with a system that ran 10 times faster (due to elimination of the spamming and keyboard mapping).\n\nSo this lady now avoids mixing Internet and Windows. It's like drinking and driving. Linux is secure, Windows is worse than trying to cross a lake in a colander.\n\nAs long as Internet Explorer is used, no firewall or malware or virus protection is worth a flip. A "click attack" is all the attacker needs to take control of Windows. I counted 11 NEW click-attack spams this AFTERNOON at Yahoo alone. One even made it into my mailbox. But I use Linux (and Firefox).\n\nAmazing. Above is an answer with a CLICK ATTACK! The answerer claims Firefox disables spyware and virus attacks, which it does not. You cannot have a secure computer and Windows. Not even on Yahoo Answers! Get Firefox ONLY at http://mozilla.com/ and not elsewhere.\n\nGood luck!

no im sorry but theres not. while its true that the two are the same basic thing, the interface is completely different. so its possible maybe if your a computer technician to jerry rig something...but if so you would have done so already instead of asking us.sorry.
