    How To Best Protect my New System ?

    I am setting up a new system & would like to protect it in the Best way possible. It has Win XP ( Pro )

    Which software should I install to best protect it before I transfer the data from old hard disk ?

    I have installed the NOD 32 Antivirus & turned on the Windows firewall.

    Thanks

    Microsoft Antispyware, definitely.

    Avast for antivirus its by far one of the best out there.
    Sygate for the firewall IMO its better than zone alarm
    MS AntiSpy is a good look app that MS made
    and Firefox
    Total price for all aps
    $0
