Do you keep an up to date securtiy system on your computer? I haven't had any problems but sometimes I am tempted to open emails from strangers just out of curiosity. The security I have updates everyday and has been a wonderful safeguard for my pc. Are you careful with what you open and keep an updated system?

I always make sure that someone that wants to email is added to my address book. If their email address is not in my address book it will be automatically sent to the spam folder. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Yep definitely keep my computer updated. I keep major programs updated too like firefox and opera. Oh yes, I'm definitely careful online and with programs.

That's the smartest thing to do..my sister just had her's crash....and she has one program on it that cost over $200 dollars to replace! It's a licensed program for realtors! Yikes....fix the computer and have to replace the programs!

even though i am not a regular user of windows, according to me a combination of AVG + firefox will work for all normal websites. Moreover if you are using windows Xp, its have some (not good)inbult security systems such as firewall, malicious software removel tool etc. So if you turn on every thing i think there is no need of any extra protection. But is advised to take the back up of you important data to network drive or on a DVD. Because not only virus some times your hard disk its self can give trouble (so time data are unrecoverable)
