    If you could live anywhere

    Do I need a firewall or antivirus

    I think that trick is to keep the nasties out. They can do real damage before you can track them down.

    Do I need a firewall or antivirus

    Is it better to wire the second machine through the first machine or directly into the net. The 2nd machine is the trading machine.

    He does and he is a good guy. It is just that the thought process here works differently to what we are used to and the way in which we are now communicating here on ET. There are some imports here offering their services but that really pushes the problem one step further down the chain...

    Dual hard drives ... any good?

    Thanks sax. The reason for all my questions is because I live in buenos aires and communications between myself and my computor guy can go astray so easily and I do mean astray. If I install a 2KVM, how do I switch from one machine to another.

    Dual hard drives ... any good?

    OK, I am convinced, I will stay with two separate machines. Next question. Can I link my machines through the same two flat screens, thereby getting rid of my third screen. At the moment I have one machine with two screens and another machine with one screen.

    Dual hard drives ... any good?
