Hi,
A firewal is not just nice to have, but an absolute necessity to stop
attacks on your computer, particularly if you have broadband.
Windows XP and Vista have a firewall built-in, but they are not the best. If
you use another firewall, I suggest you disable the Windows one.
I use Zone Alarm's firewall which is free and is highly recommended.
Take care,
Gerry Ellis

Hi All,
Included in my new computer set up, for a small extra charge, was Mcafee
internet security.
I see that it has got the "thumbs-up" from one or two on the access UK
list!
Now sometime a while back on this list there was a bit of correspondence
on
fire walls.
I seem to remember that they can hold up things a little on the net while
obviously being very effective in what they do!
I for one would only stay online perhaps at the most for about an hour or
two [although my wife mmight say differently]!
What are your thoughts on firewalls?
It would be good to have them!
All the best,
Tony Sweeney.
