1. Comment - Microsoft Secures Antivirus Tech

   I did read that a firewall would be included in Windows XP but did not find it. (I thought it would be a separate icon at least in a Start Menu subfolder like Accessories or Systems Tools.) With a "Windows XP firewall" search from the http://www.microsoft.com/ISAServer craigbonline supplied I found http://www.microsoft.com...owto/networking/icf.asp which does work. The ISA Server is only for, well, servers like Windows Server 2003 not clients like XP. When I did find the firewall checkbox as per the link above, it was off by default which, of course, doesn't protect anyone unless they know how to find it. Previously, I bought the McAfee, Norton or Zone Alarm Pro. I guess I don't need to for XP. Does Internet Explorer also have any pop-up blocker setting available (like Mozilla)?

   It doesn't look like RAV has integrated firewall options like McAfee and Norton. A good firewall is at least as important for nontechnical computer users at home using broadband as is anti-virus protection.
