1. Having more than one FireWall installed on a PC is contraindicated

2. Having more than one AV software package installed on a PC is contraindicated

3. Get a Cable/DSL Router

That's *ALL* the support you'll get from me.

|
| Firewall: Zone Alarm Pro, McAfee Personal Firewall Plus,
| Norton NIS,
|
| Anti-Ad's: Spybot, Lavasoft Ad-Adware, McAfee Privacy
| Sevice,
|
| Virus, AVG 6, Sophos, Norman Antvirus, McAfee Virusscan
| Pro, Norton Antivirus, IPE antivirus.
|
| Everything runs ok together, its a little slower on
| startup. What else do I need ? A hardware firewall ? I
| have looked for hardware firewalls and cannot find them. I
| use dial up. Might change to xp pro, is that firewall
| worth it ?
