Its unbelievably easy

Do you have a desktop pc or a laptop?

Windows XPs firewall is awful in that it lets programs call outwards (Meaning if spyware DID infect your computer, nothing would stop it sending information out from your computer)

right ok will turn windows firewall off and download pctools then along with avast. thank you

Make sure you untick the extra program it asks for (cant recall the name now)
All you want is the PCTOOLS firewall running

All the same its dead easy. You take the side panel off and look for these green RAM chips ~

PC tools will keep asking to allow connections (For unknown programs)
Once its 'learnt' it wont ask again

Avast will update itself automatically (Though if a new 'program' version is available, you may need to click to allow that)
