    I am setting up a new system & would like to protect it in the Best way possible. It has Win XP ( Pro )

    Which software should I install to best protect it before I transfer the data from old hard disk ?

    I have installed the NOD 32 Antivirus & turned on the Windows firewall.

    Thanks

    The Windows Firewall is not good enough, I wouldn't even call it a firewall.

    For Antivirus I recommend AVG AntiVirus, fore a Firewall I recommend ZoneAlarm Free Edition, for Antispyware I recommend Spy Sweeper.

    You should see this article on How to Protect yourself from malware!

    If you have a subscription to NOD32 and keep it up to date then keep it. It is a good program. If you don't have a paid subscription or do not plan to keep paying for one then check out the free AV programs that are listed in the link BJ gave to you.
