I wouldn't bother. If you wish have a look at WALLWATCHER (Collect, View, and Analyze Router Logs) http://www.wallwatcher.com/ If you can't configure the router use Seconfig http://seconfig.sytes.net/ (see my post of 23-Feb.) --or-- Configuring NT-services much more secure. http://www.ntsvcfg.de/ntsvcfg_eng.html ....and practice safe-hex. |

Is there really a need for an additional firewall besides the one that comes with windows? If so, of the free ones, which do most consider as a very good one? The Windows firewall will hide your PC from unwanted attention as well as any paid for or free firewall. If you want the additional reassurance of outbound protection (that is: alerting you whenever some utility attempts to access the internet) then a third party firewall is required. Komodo comes highly recommended, though I don't use it myself. I have no had any problems with unwanted net access. Man, you're advice is really bad. Then you know where you can go, don't you? |

It used to be highly regarded but has become a bucket of bolts since Gibson sold the product. Not so much any more. Since the later revisions of version 7, it doesn't take near as long. In fact, I don't see any significant difference between the start up times with ZA Security Suite with firewall, anti-virus/anti-spam than I did with Windows firewall and another anti-virus/anti-spam program. Of course, that's not the freebie, but I wouldn't think that ZA firewall only would take as long as the complete program, IMHAWO. SC Tom "FERRANTE" wrote in message ...
