Thank you for taking the time to answer my post. Please bear with my long
version as its important to me that whoever answers this understand a
unique situation I have with the way I use my computer.
I've always used a simple dialup for my on line work and have not had any
virus issues at all using the EZAntiVirus from CA that I have installed.
Along with this, I use the XP in-house firewall. This combo has worked for
several years.
My situation is unique as I need my system as free of 3rd party software
as possible for the testing I do for developers producing add on software
for the Microsoft Flight Simulator program.
This being said, I have just signed up with RCN for their broadband cable.
This of course will change my on line scenario, as the port will now be
open all the time the system is on.
What I need to know is this;
RCN offers free Mcafee software and my experience with Mcafee is that it
is invasive to the registry and slows my system, which is not the best
thing when you need every once of performance for testing.
Will my present combination of AV and using the XP firewall be sufficient
to protect the system with the new broadband in operation or will I need
to make changes in the way I protect the computer?
Many thanks for any and all information.
Dudley
