| 724246 | 2008-11-29 21:53:00 | One Simple Question: Will Avast and Windows Firewall protect me? Can you give me any recommendations? Thanks. |

| 724253 | 2008-12-02 04:44:00 | One Simple Question: Will Avast and Windows Firewall protect me? What version of Windows? With WinXP I would recommend a third-party firewall but with Vista you might get away with the Vista one provided you keep your AV and anti-spyware progs up-to-date and give the PC a scan regularly. |
