Bruce, thanks,but no thanks....
Win XP has a built-in firewall, which I have disabled.
I run virus scans on a regular basis, as well as EZ Cleaner and Spybot. Both do a great job.
I also ran FixBlast which cleaned out the Blaster virus I had.

But, Internet Explorer 6 has some problems I haven't found yet. When opening many webpages it will either not complete the download or it will only partially download.

I'm using a V.92 modem with a dialup connecton and I just checked it at PCPitstop.com
My download speed is 50.6 kbs and my upload speed is 111 kbs.
That's smoking for a dialup.

Last week I downloaded and used another Browser, Opera, which really improved the overall performance, then I switched from Win 98 SE to Win XP and haven't reloaded Opera .....yet.
