I fully agree,.. though I cannot immagine someone within the IT sector
going online without avir & firewall... it's obvious... anyway... I
can agree with your proposal though I do not use the XP firewall. I
use a hardware firewall (within a Linksys routerà and on every machine
behind the router a different soft firewall (Panda on the old PC,
Norton on the high end)
