Firewall?

[Storm]

Hello all,

Does any one know if this Microsoft Anti-Spyware is also
a firewall? I mean it says that it gives "real time"
protection which would make me believe that it is also a
firewall?

You need:

- Firewall

- Windowsupdate, SP2 comes with a Firewall.

- Antivirus, updated !

- Antispyware, (four steps today)

No, it gives real time protection against "spyware", Firewall protects
against intrusion from all sorts of malicious stuff on the Internet such as
preventing devious persons from snooping through your hard disk.

Hi Storm,
Nope, it's neither a firewall nor an anti virus product, and I hope you are
running them also. It does protect you from gremlins that try to download
and install before the damage is done.
