start up. that is good for some spyware control. - Start up monitor.

I'm not sure if this made it through yesterday so am sending again - I
apologize if it's a dup and no one has an answer at this time - thank!

I read an article regarding the deviation of the latest worm and in it they
said the following:

"Further incidences of infection likely will be seen among home users with
digital subscriber lines (DSL) and cable modems, according to Magallenez.
"Firewalls alone are not sufficient protection," he said. "Users now want to
incorporate three things into their personal arsenal: antivirus software,
firewalls and, becoming more important, application control software to
identify which applications are trying to access the Internet and allow or
deny permission."

What is an application control software and where can I find it - I have the
antivirus and firewall of course but if this will also help prevent me
getting viruses I want to add it to my arsenal of security - thanks!
