| Secure my comp for me.
My current comp has nothing for protection.
No firewall, no AV, no pop-up blockers, no spybot, nothing.
Can you recommend everything I should get (Kazaa hehe) for my new comp when it gets setup?
I need the best of a:
Firewall
Anti-Virus
Popup blocker
Anti-spyware
Anti-adware

| I'm sorry, I just find that hard to believe.....
For anti-virus, there's something free online, Avant-something, free and free unlimited virus updates and not a CPU resource hogger.

I need the best of a:
Firewall
Anti-Virus
Popup blocker
Anti-spyware
Anti-adware | Firewall: Not important. Unless you really start to feel threatened, Windows XP's integrated firewall should be enough...I mean, its 128-bit isn't it?
Anti-Virus: Norton Anti-Virus 2002-3 (Stay away from 2004...gay)
Popup Blocker: I use Avant Browser, so I don't worry about it
Anti-spyware: I don't download anything stupid, so I don't have that problem
Anti-adware: Ad-aware

| Is there an easy to turn off firewall I can get?
I mean, turning on/off the firewall in XP is bothersome, since I am constantly needing it to turn off for Direct Connect and File Sharing through AIM..

| I've never had to =/ But if you use Zonealarm or Norton's Firewall, the CP is in the bottom right hand side of your display, so it is very simple do disable.
