If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options Just a few points here if I may say :) , Avast , Etrust , AVG are real
quality free AntiViruses of which I will also suggest to go for Avast.
Regarding Firewall , I dont recommend Windows firewall rather disabling it
and go for much better and free firewall like Sygate . Kerio is
discontinueing its free firewall service
http://forums.kerio.com/index.php?t=msg&th=7040 and most others giving free
"trials" . Zonealarm is good ... but IMO , it uses a lot of resources . Prevx
is a good tool to be tried out too which provides layered protection.
