Avast Antivirus Scanning Bootcamp Volume Software On My

I currently have anti-virus software on my PC, so the questions are should I continue to use that on the windows partition Will it protect the whole machine.

Using some common sense such as not opening attachments from email addresss you are not familiar with and not replying to requests for your password information will help safeguard you.

Running and maintaining good antivirus and antispyware protection is essential.

As I said, hopefully it wont be needed for a longtime but just needed to clarify it.

I have partitioned, via BootCamp, my drive to OS X and Windows XP.

I have Intego VirusBarrier on the OS X side and BitDefender 2009 on the Windows side.

In the 15 minutes or so on Explorer to choose and download an anti virus package for Windows I picked up 6 viruses which BitDefender identified and disinfected.

I intend to use Windows for PC games but obviously there will be those few occasions when I will use Explorer (I see no need to use Hotmail).

I have quit it) am I still exposed to viruses because I am still connected to the net via my broadband As a follow up would it be better to break my broadband connection (turn off the router) as a belt and braces.

If you are not behind a NAT router (they are all NAT) even with one computer you should be, as that alone offers a ton of protection for virtually no significant cost.

Being a 20 yr spoilt (and naive) Mac man I had assumed that Windows would have had a decent in built firewall I will have a look at Comodo.

Can someone suggest to free or cheapish antivirus software which would suffice this limited uses.
