[pchelpers] Re: Trend Micro Inter Scan Virus Wall

 I used to think I do not need a router since I have only one computer and it 
is not part of any network. I order sometimes from Tiger Direct - so I will 
check out what they have and do some research on the one that I would like. 
Does it make a difference if it is wireless or not? Thank you for the reminder. 
I should have done that a long time ago.

That is troubling for those who use it. One of the best firewalls is a 
router with a NAT (Network Address Translation) firewall. It only allows 
in what you request. Anything else doesn't get in. After that it's a 
matter of being careful where you go on line.
