The providers of PC (Trend) have offered me an upgrade to PC-cillin 2002 at a reduced rate. The thing is that the 2002 version has a firewall as well. If I opt for the upgrade, will I have problems with the 2 firewalls trying to duke it out for control, or will disabling one of them fix the problem. It also seems a waste to upgrade and have to disable one of the bells and whistles.	Craigb (688)
