My ISP, Cox DSL has a free security suite, I am as safe as I would be with, say, AVG? Also after reading some of the post I see that most reccomend better fire wall than what comes with XP.... Do I uninstall the firewall, or just turn it off? I know that you should not run more that one at a time? Any comments or advise would be great. Thanks for a great forum.
Thank you
Mike

Certainly, get a better firewall than WinXP native one. if your ISP provides one, then download and use it, otherwise, I suggest Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall, which is free for personal use. Just turn off the Windows firewall. There is no way of uninstalling it.
Thanks....I downloaded Kerio Personal firewall.
Thank you again for the great help.

The programs that are recommended here at this forum are well known and proven. Can the same be said about this other suite?

Did you review the other posts in this thread. Two very well respected ones are mentioned. Both are free for personal use.
Hope is not a method.

It is possible to stop the warnings from the security center, PRODVIDED that you have installed both a firewall, and an anti virus. go to Start> run, and enter the command "services.msc" ( without the quotes) Sroll down the list of services to find the security center entry, then right click it, and select properties. then stop the service, and set the startup type to disabled. Ok your way out. No more warnings!
