Router and security
I finally got round to installing the adsl router that's been sitting on the bench here for months. I had some problems, now fixed, and now I'm cleaning up some of the junk.
I assume I should keep ZoneAlarm on each PC, despite the native firewall in the router?
I also see that an application called "Generic Host Process" keeps accessing the internet - it seems to like 212.23.8.1:53. Should it be doing that?
A while ago someone posted a link to a list of stuff that sits in Win XP, much of which can/should be disabled. I had done that disabling - and it stopped the LAN card talking to the router till I turned several items back on.
Is there a definitive list of all these apps and what is/is not safe to leave running? Clearly DHCP is needed, for example (no LAN otherwise).
