I stand by my choice and constant suggestions of Sygate Firewall. It has been protecting me reliably for years. I hate black ice, Norton and zone alarm.

I am a registered user of BlackICE and didn't get so much as a peep from ISS. ISS's reputation is in toliet after this one. I can remember Steve Gibson http://www.grc.com complaining about BlackICE inadequacies as a firewall over 2 years ago. Looks like he was right. Thankfully I had only had a lone 2 PC branch office that was still running this piece of garbage. Luckily they did not have the worm yet. >>> amerk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3/22/2004 9:58:05 PM >>> Sorry to hear you got hit that hard, but according to ISS they had a patch out for this a week before the worm hit. >From their website: (http://www.iss.net/)=20 "The fix was delivered as a maintenance update before eEye publicly disclosed the vulnerability. Before any worm could be developed 'in the wild', ISS customers were protected automatically via a simple update that shielded the vulnerability from attack." I'm guessing you guys didn't get the update?

This was a looloo, came back in through ISS on our servers. Knocked out all critical systems. Thank goodness we have great people on our team, enabling us to be back up by business this morning...mostly. I sure hope that no one else got hit with it. We might be doing cleanup for weeks.
