Asked By Jdonnel 30 points N/A Posted on - 12/18/2012

 

 Hello,

I have a computer at my home and I am very cautious about its maintenance and performance. I take many preventive measures to maintain my computer. I have Symantec antivirus installed to protect my PC from spyware.

At the same time, I have windows firewall enabled. I want to know if my practice is correct or not. Will this affect the system performance?

Please let me know the correct information on this so that I can proceed further.

Thanks for the solutions.

Hi,

Yes your practice is perfectly fine, indeed excellent. This is the best way to keep you computer safe from intruders and malicious software. You can change the firewall settings according to your preference. On the other side antivirus performs other functions. For example viruses which can be transferred through flash drives and downloaded files from internet. You can get more information from the below link:
