That "special address," if your aonnected through the router is the gateway. Otherwise you need the IP address of the router if it's on the same network as you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DaShiell, Jude T. CIV NAVAIR 1490, 1, 26" <jude.dashiell@xxxxxxxx>

If you get the right address you'll know it because a web page will open up speaking the name of your router. Tab around inside that web page and sooner or later, you'll land on firewall. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alphonso McFadden Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 14:38 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Looking for good replacement for Windows OneCare how do I check to see if my router has one built in?----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx>

I like both Avast & MalwareBytes. Avast has saved my bacon on more than 1 occasion & is accessible via the right-click menu w/an occasional need for jaws cursoring. Malwarebytes comes in a free, e.g., scan-on-demand version, & a paid realtime protection version. Be careful about putting 2 realtime protection programs on your machine that try to protect from the same threats, else a cyber-tug-of-war may well ensue, neither program can do its intended job, & your protection is actually lessened as a result. SpywareBlaster is a free, realtime spyware protector. Spybott Search-&-Destroy also is free & provides some realtime protection. Superantispyware has both a free & paid version--same sort of thing as Malwarebytes--& is very very accessible. I've not found a really good accessible firewall solution, but, check to see if your router has 1 built in. The advantage there is that your processor power isn't taken up w/firewall tasks.

money
was paid for your screen reader either. Since on some of the
machines I
use are win 98 machines they'll not run the popular stuff either.
What
they will run is clamwin though and I've found that pretty
accessible.
The clamwin package is a port of the linux clamav package and now has some spyware killing capability. Another package that comes with
high
ratings from security professionals I talk with is malware bites but
I
don't know much about its accessibility status. The security professional I talk to doesn't consider avg; zone alarm, MacCaffey's
or
Norton to be worth paying for either. I'm pretty sure he did buy malware bites package though. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Jaquiss Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 11:34 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Looking for good replacement for Windows OneCare Hello List: For about three years, I have been using Windows Live OneCare
