Is the asterisk is the wild-card used to represent one and only one character in find criteria?
The interpretation of the asterisk depends on the exact filter language and dialect in use.
For example, the Windows console supports an asterisk as a placeholder for any alphanumerical character which can be part of a file base name, that is, letters, digits, underscore, and some others, but other characters with special meaning in this context, such as a period, a colon or a backslash. For example - the instruction Dir *.txt would list every file with the extension txt.
Commonly used equivalents console applications under the Unix (Linux) family of operating systems (so-called 'shell' programs such as BASH and many others) interpret the asterisk as a placeholder for any valid file name character (that is, including the period).
In most regular expression dialects, the asterisk does not represent a particular character or group of characters at all. It is instead used to implement a multiplier, where the asterisk matches "zero or more times whichever search expression precedes the asterisk." Thus, 'AZ*' will be interpreted as "match a sequence consisting of letter A, followed by zero or more letters Z: 'A', 'AZ', 'AZZZZZ', etc.

Do you have to buy computer security?
Computer Security is a necessary part of owning a computer. If you are surfing the internet, unfortunately, there will be some malicious content on there. Without some degree of Internet and/or Computer Security, your computer is at risk of infection, and the potential of Identity Theft is quite high.
Personally, I would recommend McAfee or Kaspersky - both very good Computer Security suites.
If you combine Zone Alarm with AVG (Or Avast), you get free protection from hackers and viruses.
