Recently the NIS08 subscription ran out and have switched to Avast! (Thank God) and already has SAS and MBAM and the computer is behind a router my question is should I include a 3rd party firewall such as Comodo without D+ ?
Hi Justin...
Just to give you my two cents, If you are running Windows XP, I would get a realtime spyware scanner like Windows Defender or Spyware Terminator, if you don't already have one...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx (Windows Vista already comes with this.)
http://www.spywareterminator.com/Windows Defender is more user friendly but less configurable while Spyware Terminator has more options but requires a bit more know how, in my opinion.
In terms of a firewall, does your router already provide this function? If so but you would feel more secure with a software firewall (and want outbound protection,) then yes, Comodo or another like firewall would probably do nicely. If you choose Comodo,
don't install the AV component, as you may already be aware. Perhaps this is what you meant by "without D+."
Hope this helps.
May God Bless you!
