Hi. I have a Dell running XP home with sp1. I installed Microsoft's Antispyware beta version. Is this the same as running an antivirus program, or do I also need to install Avast in addition to the microsoft program? Also, if the antispyware program protects against viruses, does anyone know if my inbound and outbound e-mails are scanned as with zone alarm or avast? Thanks....Steve.
