Re: Antivirus & Firewall?

some simple security advice, if you use windoze IE to connect to the internet, even if behind a SPI firewall, then you will need a good AV, as the http get request headers will advertise the fact that you've got a security compromised browser and OS.

Suggestion, use firefox instead, but still use decent AV and decent SPI firewall.
