Re: Antivirus: Do I need antivirus s/ware if running WinXP
And you should run a firewall if you use dial-up or broadband internet access .Possibly something like (free) ZoneAlarm (which monitors both incoming and outgoing network traffic) even if you enable the Windows XP Service Pack 2 firewall (which only monitors incoming traffic).
Any idea where I might get a decent and effective anti spam program for Outlook Express. I tried Cloudmark Safety Bar- terrific but they want Euro 40 per year !!. Spampal is a nightmare to be- I am not clever enough to install it.
Any ideas for a cheap or free program would be appreciated.
My first post above explains the rationale for using something like ZoneAlarm instead of (or in tandem with? not sure if that works?) the one built into XP SP2. The latter only filters incoming traffic. It will not filter outgoing traffic. A firewall that does both is more secure.
