Michael, I use Windows XP home with service pack 2, and I understand there is a fire wall included. Some say it's adequate, and others say not. As I said concerning AVg it seems to be working for me; but I'm not a high-power internet user. That is, the sites I go to are "conservative", and hopefully not magnets for undesirable bugs. You might get some basic information from Microsoft customer service or technitian about their firewall; biosed, of cource. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael McDermott To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 11:31 AM Subject: Jfw and software Fire Walls Hi I am still looking for a suggestion on a good firewall program to use on my system which is running jaws 6. People have suggested sygate, but I don’t think that’s available any more. I was using Norton internet security, but uninstalled it at present as I did not find it worked well. Please send me some info and include a possible to get the fire wall program. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
