 Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2006 9:52 pm Post subject: Any recommendations for firewall software? |
 |
|
I had Norton Internet Security on my computer until recently. I seemed to have so many problems with my computer until I removed it. I'm looking now for a new provider, but would like some input from you guys. Most of you guys seem to know quite a bit about this kind of stuff (at least a lot more than I do). Don't be goin and gettin a big head now....

XP Home/Professional has a built in firewall.
I should think you'd want to use that if you have those operating systems.

I don't think the XP firewall is really all that good though...
McAffee has a subscription based service, but there are other free firewall or antivirus programs you can get from the internet.
Here's a thread from another forum about Anitvirus programs. It'll hopefully help you out
