Is my computer safe with NetZero DSL?

If you practice safe surfing while on the Internet (such as using a firewall and anti-spyware software), and don't enable file-sharing with Windows 98, your computer should be as safe as it is with dial-up.

However, it is good practice to always assume your computer information is at risk, and to use password protection and caution when surfing Web sites. As part of your NetZero DSL package, you will also receive Norton Antivirus Online for free. Norton Internet Security Online is also available for an additional cost. These programs offer additional protection for your computer against Spam, phishing, viruses, hacking, worms, and other dangers.
