I am using Win XP and have a wired router for just my computer, plus the firewall is set to ON within XP. I also got PC Firewall Plus for what I believe is added protection, but is all of this necessary?
The reason I got the PC Firewall Plus was first, it was free. Secondly, it said it prohibits programs from within the computer to secretly connect to the Internet by first telling you which program is trying to do that and asking if it is OK or not?
Is all of this necessary or is there something else you might recommend, something better?
Thanks in advance for your help. Mary
