    I have a wireless network set up at home and i have a laptop and a PC. Now i have a current version of McAfee running on the laptop, but i am thinking of networking the PC's. I have BB, and i really don't want to buy another AV, so any files that i DL, i DL on the laptop. So if i was 2 use the PC, it would be only surfing. So my question is would windows firewall be ok on the PC. I would let windows updates run aswell. So it there anything i need to be worried. I just did a firewall test on the internet and it passed. PC is running windows xp
    Thanks
    Kevin

    You don't need to buy an anti virus package anyway, there are better free ones available than McAffee. AVG, avast! or Anti-vir all have free versions.
