Have ordered new PC with Vista Ultimate which will be delivered in the coming weeks.
Will I need A/V & Firewall as Vista comes with both these "built-in" does it not?
I have Virgin BB (20Mb connection) that comes with free AV/Firewall suite thingy (currently running on my XP machine).
I know XP needed "proper AV etc." but is Vista protection (Defender, Firewall etc.) a lot better?
I'm also rather wary that 3rd party AV sloooows down pc's so would like to avoid that if possible. I'm also careful re: e-mails etc and won't be installing crap on my PC either.
