If the only thing he wants to do online is play SF4, does he really need anything? He's said he won't be browsing the net... |

Thanks for all the input. I think I'm gonna try this out with neither AV or a firewall. |

I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 3 with all security updates, automatic updates turned off, firewall turned off, a linksys router, no anti virus, no anti adware/spyware, using firefox and opera as browsers. I also don't run very many programs at all. Once a month I install anti-virus and anti spyware programs and let them run. Afterwars I uninstall them. I have had one virus in two years with this approach. The one time was due to my own dumbness for installing a program I got from a link on youtube. Smart internet browsing is the best security you can get. I will note however, that I do not value anything on my computer. |
