Have AVG Antivirus installed.

My question is with the firewall and spyware prevention. I was finally able to update to SP2 and now have the XP firewall enabled. Should I disable it and download Sygate Personal Firewall Free, ZoneAlarmFree, or Kerio Personal Firewall as suggested instead? (post didn't address the xp version) If so, which is most recommended?

Same goes for SpyWare Prevention
Installed now is Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware and SpyWare Blaster.

This PC needs as much protection as possible. Which would be most recommended from the last three that were suggested in that post:
SpyWare Guard, Spy Sweeper or PestPatrol?

Thanks much-
Jesica
