From what I gather it breaks in to your system. My AV kept freezing up my system due to an incompatibility with Netscape and I had to turn it off. I have a firewall installed and I refuse to use IE. Call me stupid, yes, but we have not had a problem.

I don't know how it all works really, but I use Opera for my browser. I currently use a wirless connection for my laptop, and have been told that I don't need a firewall as the wireless unit acts as one, but I don't know if that's true or not.

On another note, I don't think I have encryption activated on my wireless. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.
