Hi, There is a firewall in win x p. I think it's in the control panel or accessories.

AVG for an anti-virus program Spybot and ad-aware for detecting and cleaning spyware. I don't have a solution for a firewall. I am sure that others can supply an answer to that. Don't forget to look on the JFWLite site for other recommendations.

I am looking into purchasing this software, because it has some very useful tools such as antivirus, antispyware, registry cleaners and more in the same package, but I am concerned about compatibility with JAWS. I have already wasted $70.00 on Norton Internet Security 2007, because it is not very useful with JAWS 8 and I do not want to waste any more money on software I can not use. I would appreciate any feedback on this program I can get. Thanks, Alicia "The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of >seeing people towards them." >- Helen Keller, 1925
