    Hi, everyone!

    I would appreciate advice on whether or not I should install a firewall on my two PC's. For home use only, the desktop has a Win 98SE system with IE 5.0, while my laptop uses Win XP with IE 6.0.

    Yes it is a good idea.

    I use Norton Internet Security. ( AV & Firewall ) to control the outgoing and catch anything that might sneak past the Router.
