i have seen written in many online secrity generals tht use of antivirus software is must for online safety .
i m having athlon xp2.01 ghz. processor with 256 mb ram . it gets quite slow when sing any antiviruses .
so what i did is installed two windows xp on different partitions , get antivirus installed on one in least use and updated it , so tht i can scan my system from there offline.
now on most used windows i installed ' microsoft antispyware ' in active mode and zonealarm pro firewall in tighter program controlled mode .
am i really secure now ?
tell me !

Well, i better recommend u to have antis on both os coz of active items suspicions..

well otherwise u r very safe indeed !
be careful of what u download and avoid javascript when u can...
this is core security
also if u have zone 6 then no need of MS antispy coz tis good enough...
but for active scanning MS is good , zone scans on reboots

the best would be to get a real time scanner like avast which has realtime http scanning and web shield

these protect my computers a lot

as far as you

you r safe though

Is zone alarm 6 the free version good enough to protect the system.
