Install a good, comprehensive, security program,
such as Windows OneCare, and you'll not have to
worry about those issues. You can try it FREE
for ninety (90) days. This is a brand new version
and includes a very robust firewall.

Hello,
I recently removed McAfee form my laptop with Vista Home Premium OP. I
installed the free version of AVG Antivirus for virus protection in McAfee's
place. I was going to look for a firewall program too, but saw that the Vista
built in Windows Firewall took over that job. My question is do these 2
programs give me enough protection for my laptop? Can I trust these 2
programs to protect my desktop computer? My desktop is hard wired to my
router and I have Verizon Fios cable for my internet provider. My desktop is
always on and always connected to the internet. I want to make sure I will
have enough protection before I make any changes to my desktop. I noticed the
Windows Firewall says you should only have one firewall running so I know I
can't add anything to help with that protection.
All and any comments are welcome. Thank you in advance for your replies!
Best regard,
James
