Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

New Pc's...what do I need?!
I recently purchased 2 pc's, a desktop running vista and netbook running xp. I have been using mac's for the past 6 years and it has completely spoiled me!!! I remember pc's need 3 things...1. antivirus 2. Firewall and 3. optimizer/system mechanic...right? The desktop came preinstalled with Mcafee the netbook norton. I purchased armor firewll for the netbook, but would like to know if there is one package that does all 3, to minimize conflicts..


Thanks

Hi and Welcome,
I use Comodo firewall & Avast antivirus on Vista. Both free & often suggested here.
As for reg cleaners ... not popular here as in this often quoted item:
