I've got avast and zonealarm on my laptop at the moment, I'm not sure whether I should uninstall the mcafee that's come with my dell, free for 30 days. It seems like quite a chunky program with good features.
But that's why I'm here in case you think it's best to just ditch that and go for the free security software? I did mention this in my earlier thread but that was abotu file sharing so unsurprisingly didn't get a response on it

Blackadder: Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.
Baldrick: Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?
Blackadder: Yes it is.
Baldrick: Hmm... that's cunning.

ZoneAlarm isn't compatible with Vista :wall:
Is the windows firewall enough or do I need to find another one, maybe comodo if that's vista compatible? I'm already behind a netgear firewall router...Blackadder: Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.
