An out of date antivirus is about as good as having none. The people that write such pests know that only the new stuff is likely to succeed and count on people running Windows without current protection.

hI I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on upgrading ativirus software. I was wanting to now how important is it to upgrade antivirus software. The reason i am asking this is because I have trend Micro Internet security 14 that came with my Dell computer and now trend Micro wants me to upgrade Internet security 14. How important is it to upgrade this software. I had someone else activate the antivirus software on my computer and so I have to get this someone to do this for me. So I am just wanting to now should I take this opertunity to use a different antivirus software like for example avast home edition. The other thing I would like to ask is I have a broadband connection and a local area network. I all ready have a firewall with my computer windows vista firewall if I do decide to go with a different antivirus should I have another personal firewall to protect my local area network or will I be fine with just using windows vista build in firewall and another antivirus product like avast or avg on my computer.
thanks I am just looking for some advice on this decision
