Hmmm. I'm starting to worry now.
We recently set up a second internet-based bank account and to maximise security I purchased Zonealarm Pro. We also enabled XP Home's built-in firewall (surprisingly the two don't clash and hopefully what one misses the other will catch). At the back of one's mind is the possibility of password theft, key logging etc. so I'm wondering how Zonealarm Pro measures up to Smoothwall, Ipcop and Freesco in the overall security stakes.
Also, you speak highly of external firewalls. Are these likely to be proof against present and (almost inevitablly) future MS vulnerabilities, and are they in all cases better than software solutions?
Thanks.
