Hello,

I recently removed McAfee form my laptop with Vista Home
Premium OP. I installed the free version of AVG Antivirus for
virus protection in McAfee's place. I was going to look for a
firewall program too, but saw that the Vista built in Windows
Firewall took over that job. My question is do these 2 programs
give me enough protection for my laptop? Can I trust these 2
programs to protect my desktop computer? My desktop is hard
wired to my router

Your router has a firewall too,

Usually, it has to be enabled because it isn't enabled by default.

This is garbage Alias.

Um, no it isn't.

Yes it is Alais.


Alias doesn't know squat...pay him no mind.


Another who can only hurl personal attacks and offer no substantiation.

You just got your ass kicked.

False.

Changing the subject won't change that fact.

Fact? What fact? Most routers come with the firewall disabled. That's a fact, Jack.

Get lost mr liar, mr troll.

Um, funny coming from the biggest troll here.
