Re: What Firewall Do You Have?
There are free alternatives to Norton that many feel are superior. I'd recommend ZoneAlarm ( http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...try=US&lang=en )Originally Posted by BDC
t's like Norton, it's so bloody annoying, slowing and intrusive that it's worse than 95% of the viruses/spyware you could ever get. AND you pay for it.
It prevented viruses (factory settings) on my girlfriend's laptop by simply not allowing any net access or program alterations. It's like burning down your own city to prevent it falling into the hands of the enemy (during a civil war).
AdAware SE Personal ( http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/ ) and
SpyBot - Search & Destroy ( http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html ).
Keep them updated, and they'll take care of almost all your security needs (other than AV).
