Hmm, last time I tried Zone Alarm it appeared to be not accessible at all. I couldnt' even configure even the basics of settings. Has this now changed?

the firewalls are older, but they work, and one can try the home website for each to see if there is an accessible updated version.
and now I know that zone alarm is accessible again so will be adding it to my list of possibles, though I didn't like the thing myself the last time I tried it, though that was quite a while back I will admit.

In any event, some of the stuff on there is a bit out of date. If it is being maintained again, please excuse this message. --le----- Original Message ----- From: inthaneelf

spybot, ad aware and those listed there all work well from what I hear, I use ad aware for the main part, and the free version to boot, and haven't had much it didn't find.
firewalls, there are two older ones you can get from there, I just use the windows stock one myself, but that's my choice, and may not be the best as far as that goes.
I also recommend a program called win patrol, which monitors an assortment of things, gives you active and accessible control over them, and will alert you to anything trying to make changes in your registry and/or file associations on your comp, and there is both a free and a expanded pay for version of it (again I'm using the freebee and doing fine with it)
