I recently installed Trend Micro's '07 Internet Security program (has firewall and spyware sweeper as well as anti-virus) and it's really great--finds lots of junk, and they have great customer service, too. I tried to install the Norton's 0'7 Internet Security and only afterward discovered that it was incompatable with my desktop's version of IE and XP.

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.
