yup got both of them and run them regularly so I guess I'm as safe as it's
possible to be as nothing is foolproof :-) thanks! Dolores

Actually, ZoneAlarm IS your application control software, as well as the
Firewall. You're covered on the three tools. But, another suggestion (not
for viruses protection, but rather for maintenance) would be to download and
keep on hand Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. Both of these two will
remove any hidden adware and spyware apps that were installed onto your
system without your knowing.

| 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!
