I recently bought a new computer with Win XP installed. I
have been told that the firewall included with XP does
not control outgoing transmissions from trojan horse
programs and I should replace it with another product
such as Norton Personal firewall. How difficult is this
to do? I am not a computer expert and am apprehensive
about creating more problems than solutions. Thanks in
advance for any help you can provide.
