[QUOTE="winterescape, post: 540845, member: 90370"] IMHO 1) Yes, MS SE is a better option. If you read up on it, it has a “lighter footprint” and would be a better option for a HTPC. I also like AVG free so this is a close call. I run no virus protection on my HTPC I consider it very low risk. Also, bookmark the free online MS tool [url=http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm]Windows Live OneCare safety scanner: Free online tool for PC health and safety[/url] select "full service scan" 2) I always disable windows firewall and turn off the service in XP if the system has a hardware firewall. It would only “protect” you from other computers on your local network, which in most cases will just make file transfers and shares more difficult. [/QUOTE]
