Hello,
First off, my router was unsecured for 2 hours (it's been secured since).
But Please answer this question assuming this is the case (that I have an unsecured router),
because I'm feeling paranoid that someone hacked into my system and stole my files
(even though I had no shared files in Windows Vista 32bit, wondering if they still hacked in).
I have Norton 360, and even though it automatically turned off Windows Firewall,
I went into Windows Firewall and manually turned it back on,
so that now both Norton 360's Firewall and Windows Firewall are running together at the same time.
My question is, does this now make my computer MORE or LESS secure from hackers?
The logic being that I have 2 guards instead of 1.
I've heard that it may cause more conflicts, so it will make the firewalls less effective, so it's LESS secure.
I've also heard that it just means more hoops for hackers to jump through, so it's MORE secure.
Which is really true? Does this now make my computer MORE or LESS secure from good hackers?
Thank you so much for your reply, it will help me feel better.
