U
Ummagumma
OS: XP Home Edition +SP2
ISP: Residential DSL (>512)
RAM: 256MB
Firewalls:
(1) XP Home's native firewall
(2) LinkSys router's (BEFS41) hardware firewall
(3) TrendMicro's Internet Security 2004 firewall
Question:
Are three firewalls redundant? Is one sufficient? My
computer needs to be really secure (I realize that
there's no such thing, in theory), because personal
financial information is sometimes exchanged over
the 'net. TrendMicro's Internet Security 2004 is a RAM
hog. Can it be dispensed with? What about any of its
components?:
TMOAgent.exe (2.8MB)
PCCFW.exe (3.9MB)
PCClient (2.7MB)
tmproxy.exe (14.2MB)
Tmntsrv.exe (2.4MB)
pccguide.exe (3.9MB)
which adds up to 30 MB.
Suggestions and comments would be appreciated...
