Zone Alarm and Outpost are both good programs.......choose whichever suits=
you - but CHOOSE!! <chuckle>
Remember, within reason, if you have to get permissions, etc., the program=
is doing what it is designed to do <G>

=A0 | =A0 Thanks!
=A0 | =A0 so - what should I put on here? I have the old zone alarm on my
=A0 | =A0 old computer.
=A0 | =A0 I had outpost on this computer. I didn't have trouble with it -
=A0 | =A0 BUT - my son said he did.
=A0 | =A0 He said it would block his things, and he would have to go to
=A0 | =A0 my identity to get permission to do whatever he was doing.
=A0 | =A0 Outpost took some figuring out too in the beginning. It is what
=A0 | =A0 prevented me from seeing some web page pictures. Is there
=A0 | =A0 another good one? or should I use one of those? Cris -----

=A0 | =A0 Inaccurate.
=A0 |
=A0 | =A0 My recommendation is to run a DSL switch (which is a
=A0 | =A0 "mechanical"
=A0 | =A0 firewall) and also run a software firewall. =A0I currently use
=A0 | =A0 Outpost.
=A0 | =A0 There are many good ones though. =A0I would NOT use the MS
=A0 | =A0 firewall
=A0 | =A0 under any circumstances..........it's not ready for prime time.
