This has nothing in special to do with the worm, but I was just wondering something, u know routers have built-in firewalls, let's say I have a router and that I want to unblock a specific port, is there anyway to do that?! I mean do u like unblock the ports hardware wise or is there a software that comes with the router?! So yeah, can someone plz explain how it works in general! thanks -----Original Message----- From: mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Charles R.

It might lok like it on the surface, but I'm confident with Outpost, Norton, AVG, the built in firewall in the router and a whole lot of common sense, (like not opening attachments from someone I don't know, staying away from lists that aren't plain text only (at least keep a VERY close eye on them) and so forth...) will keep most nasties away. If they do make it, they usually are caught before they can even think about doing their dirty deeds.
