If you've a good anti-virus then they'll pick up BO2K if it's trying to install.

Offiicially BO2K is a "remote network tool" LOL. Ah, the fun it provided, hehe.

i have mcafee and i check everyday for new patches......i have benn told that it is the best antivirus and i also read it to a pc magazine.......it's cool knowing that you have a good protection.....

i gave up on virus protections. they seem too alarmist for me.

ok....but i am too interested in those......

How good is the XP built in firewall?

Can Bill Gates and Micro$oft be trusted - I think not. Use Zonealarm or BlackIce Defender.

BTW: A good program to get is XP Anti-spy - stops things being sent to M$ and a few other things as well.

where could i get this XP anti-spy? what do think of Zonealarm. i have heard many conflicting reports on it.

Google it by clicking here

Or go here

Personnally I have no problems with Zonealarm - it sits in the background and does it's job and doesn't bother me. I tried out Norton Personnal Firewall but I didn't like it much (or it was causing probems, I can't remember).

thankls

i had mcafee firewall bnut i had too many probs with it so i uninstalled it!
