[QUOTE="enricong, post: 336248, member: 84747"] I have been wondering if I really need to install a virus scanner. All videos that I play are off a network from a computer which does have a virus scanner. I do have the xp firewall on and I'm behind a router. The only risk of anything getting in that I can think of would be if a security update didnt get installed before a worm or something got in. Either that or putting discs in but I would think that is a pretty low risk as I would not do that very often. The computer I'm using is kinda slow. It can play the videos ok but I'm afraid a virus scanner may slow it down too much. I've thought about installing Avira, AVG, or Avast. I also have symantec from work but I hear it is slow. [/QUOTE]
