Which is the best way to go, Windows XP firewall & anti virus, or
the one provided by the AT&T YAHOO service I am using?
I understand from what I have read that one should use only
one or the other. Thank you all, and all have a great holliday! :whistling:

Windows doesn't have any anti-virus built-in.
Windows' default firewall only monitors traffic coming in, not traffic going out which makes it kind of pointless.
