I currently use McAfee PersonalFirewall (Ver. 4.5) &
McAfee Virus Scan (Build 8.0.16) & I am wanting to know
if I should also enable my built-in Windows XP Internet
firewall as prescribed by Microsoft?
 
Greetings --

It shouldn't be necessary, as long as you're satisfied with the
protection offered by the McAfee product, and there is a slim
possibility that having two software firewalls running simultaneously
could cause conflicts.

Good for you for using a firewall. You should only have one software
firewall running at the a time. The McAfee firewall does everything that
XP's firewall does and a whole lot more.
