my walls are now guarded, the antivirus is for the paid one not the free
version, I did turn off xp firewall.
thanks all for your input and
MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy Hanukkah!

On a side note, ZoneAlarm has an included antivirus app. I don't know if its
only with the pay version of ZA, but if its included in the free version you
can always check that out as well. I myself have never really tried it long
enough to see if I like it. And, to be honest with you, until ZA proves
itself in the antivirus arena, I prefer ZA to only guard my walls.
Just a FYI.

Hi Tori.
I too have Avast and love it, but I personally believe one needs a bit more
protection than just an A\V.
Do you have a firewall installed besides the one the Win XP offers?
If not, check out Zone Alarm, the free basic version is what I have, and you
can get it here: www.zonelabs.com
Also you might want to check into some antispyware utilities. You can go to
www.majorgeeks.com and browse through all the ones there.
The ones that I have are, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware SE, and Spyware
Blaster. I also have a couple of free registry cleaners and also a couple of
those cleaners that clean up after all the web surfing.
All these and more can be found thru that site I mentioned.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Happy Holidays, Scott.
Oh yea, 3 years of happy surfing and not once did I have to reinstall or
reformat anything.

I have an HP using XPSP2. It came with Norton2004 Virus and
Firewall. Money got tight and I didn't keep up the subscription. I have
totally removed it and installed Avast. Is that enough by itself or should
I use more? If so, what? I'm primarily interested in the free programs at
this point.
Thanks.
Tori
