is my system safe ?
I run winxp home, no file sharing,irc,p2p,windows messenger. Only protocol loaded is tcp. About 25 processes running. Security centre, automatic updates, fast user switching, secondary logon, ipsec, system restore, remote desktop, sddp,and universal plug & play, and some others are disabled. I run winxp firewall with no exceptions but allow icmp echo and outgoings. Avast virus free running and this is the only app i allow to automatically update all other updates i take care of manually. Mailwasher takes care of email. Ie and xp all up to date. Tried opera/firefox but found them to be crap. Scan from time to time with Ewido. Thats about it, so am i safe, or should i get a router or better software firewall.
