    Default windows firewall or a.n other

    i am selling my pc to my niece and have put avast virus checker and the Microsoft spyware program on it for her she will only be just internet browsing and maybe shopping

    do you think she will be ok with the windows firewall or something like zone-alarm would be better

    taken in the fact she has not much computer knowledge?

    windows firewall should be adequate.. but bare in mind its shite.

    but should do her for the odd bit of browsing.

    If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?

    must admit I've had far less problems with the Microsoft one than with Zone Alarm
