    Anything but McAffee. I use AVG. If you're behind a router then a firewall isn't as important as your router will act as a hardware firewall, but it wouldn't hurt to get one. I used to use ZoneAlarm.

    Yeahh McAffee is pissing me off. I was thinking either AVG pro or something else. First thing that came to my mind was AVG. Didnt know if there was anything better than that out though.

    AVG and ZoneAlarm are my choices. Your best protection is just not to download dodgy stuff though. tongue.gif

    I've had this PC for 2 years and have never had a problem, and I don't use any anti-virus. Vista's firewall's pretty decent, and if you're connecting to the internet through wireless LAN then your router can provide a pretty good firewall as well. Just don't download anything that you don't trust.
