Being older, I am really computer illiterate. So please be patient with what might appear as dumb questions.

I have Spybot 16.2. Do I also need a Firewall? If so,I guess I need to "buy" a firewall product. Through which company?

I used to have McAfee free through AOl. But I do not like McAfee. So which company would you recommend?

At this time, in my "Windows Secuity", the Firewall, Auto Updates and Virus Protection are all on. But I was told that the windows Firewall was not too good.

Also, does Spybot and Windows protect me on Internet Explorer as well as on AOL?

Thanks! I am REALLY by all this computer stuff!
