| 873807 | 2010-04-06 16:47:00 | Hi... I'm setting up a Win XP computer, and am just wondering how to secure it. From the sounds of it, MS security essentials is what everyone's using, correct? Should I bother about a stand alone firewall or just leave it to the built-in Windows one? The computer is fairly old (1.4GHz Pentium M, 512mb RAM) so I don't want to stress it out too much Cheers Forrest |

| 873815 | 2010-04-06 22:30:00 | Still using Avaast I would not use any MS security program on principal. I must look into Avaast's new version Hope it has not gone like AVG did with its bloated one. |

| 873816 | 2010-04-06 22:31:00 | I must look into Avaast's new version Hope it has not gone like AVG did with its bloated one. Unfortunately, it has. :( Which is why everyone is using MSE now. |
