hey Rick... I gave up on ZA long ago for various reasons... and no, I
wouldn't call you stupid at all... but might if you run a wide open
connection to your satellite without some sort of firewall to protect your
stuff.
you might want to try sygate [www.sygate.com] for their free download -
for personal use. I read about it 2 yrs ago or so, and still use it
alongside of BlackIce, which rarely registers anything but a port probe on
port 80 anymore. it's very similar to ZA and has a backtrace function as
well that is quite helpful.
