I'm a new user to XP..I am about to install AVG for my av protection. Just wondering if I will have any problems with AVG and the XP firewall. I am very familiar with AVG, but I know diddly about a firewall or XP. Will I need to change settings that I don't know how to change? Remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people like me....Thanks,Gill

You probably wont have problems using the two programs simultaneously. However, the new firewall may give you a little trouble. The new firewall will block programs attempting to access the internet resource. Also, it will block certain features of websites. To view the blocked content of a website, you will notice a rectangular box under the address bar of IE (internet explorer) to view the content blocked, click the box and click "allor" or "accept" I will warn you, it is blocking the content because it could pose a security risk to your system.

AVG's homepage has a page with detailed instructions how to set up some different firewalls so work with AVG. Among them XP's firewall.
Personally I use Sygate Personal Firewall instead of the built in one.
