Re: Beginner in Security
said by newsnerd8  :If I use a router and Windows XP firewall, a solid AV, along with a program for spyware, is that good for a beginner? Do I need a seperate program for anti-trojans? Realistically, in that list you should be able to stop at the AV, with solid being operationally defined as one that also deals well with malware in a generalized sense (including spyware and so on). Can additional things be beneficial? Sure, but the point of diminishing positive returns has already kicked in when you go beyond a solid AV and the potential of genuinely negative conflicts will start to become prominent as more is added. A beginner desiring more is probably best served by opting for a suite-type solution.
