This guy Steve Gibson has a very useful site, gives out lots of useful advice regarding "firewalls" and doesn't blind you with sceince. I took his advice and downloaded ZoneAlarm. (got it from zdnet.com)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Best of all, its all freeware.

If you value your security and privacy give it a look.

I can attest to and agree with the comments. Anybody worried about the security of their PC on the WWW should at least visit GRC.COM and check things out. I have also used ZoneAlarm, and found it very useful at blocking at least one genuine attack.

(Usual disclaimer, no relationship to either site or product except as happy user)

Good article on the back page of Airwaves by [email protected] about security.
