firewall
When my McKafee trial expired, I switched to AVG antivirus. It was a freeware and is a basic version. My question is, do I still need to get a firewall? I don't see anything mentioned in the AVG antivirus about it having one.

I guess I should have done a little more homework. In using Windows 7, I find that it is equipped with a firewall already. I guess I shouldn't have worried. It is enabled and working. Thank you.
