That's a good test. Don't agree we are straying off the point. We are telling the original poster that AVG 8 is good and that he should install a firewall and ignore some of the earlier threads saying one is unnecessary if you use a laptop at WIFI locations.

You should have a firewall installed (zonealarm etc) and not just reliant on your router/windows firewall.

Hi Griff,
Doesn't one firewall conflict with another? I have previously been advised only to install one firewall, for that very reason.
I had a confident result, when trying out the "Shield Up" test on the laptop. Although it did pick up my 3 Dongle ISP address, it couldn't infiltrate any of the ports, as they are all locked up, and in stealth mode!!!
Not sure what exactly it meant in great detail, but it all sounded very secure. I bet the home PC would fail the same test miserably
