[Hidden-tech] Windows security 101 (for Mac users)

[David Spound]

This botnet discussion reminds me that I need to install some protective
software for my new Windows XP installation running (very nicely) in
Parallels on my MacBook Pro.

I am using Windows mainly for web access.  I am trying to use Firefox as
much as possible. No Microsoft Office or Outlook for now, although I do rule
out a future purchase of the new version of Office. I might occasionally
access email through a web browser. I use safe computing techniques (no
clicking on ads, no opening attachments that I am not certain about, etc.)

Please tell me what I need to buy in order to protect this installation of
Windows from viruses, spyware, etc. I have read some negative reviews of
Norton Antivirus.

Thanks,

David
