New to Windows, help

[indawildz]

I have a couple of questions!

Do you know if my current firewall is any good, it's the windows built in one?

Do you know if my antivirus is worth holding onto, it's called Avira personal edition classic and is free from the net?

thanks for your time...

hi

if it's the windows security centre firewall SP2 then yes it is good.

you can get the Service Pack 2 free from pc world, just tell them you have xp and dell told you that pc world will give you a free 1

i use AVG which is also a free virus and is good enough.

never run 2 firewalls or 2 virus as this slows your puter.

you can get free trojan hunter, spyware doctor applications that work with your security.

also look into getting firefox and stop using Internet Explorer, dLoad most of the extentions, free.
