although it sounds cheap zonealarm does a pretty good job and its free. ticks me off that there are no advanced configuration option, though... it would be nice to be able to open and close ports manually but the fact is it works. can usually play games just fine with it on, AND run a server.

People ask me to fix their computer. I do in 5 seconds.
They say "You think your good don't you".
I say "I know I'm good". People always ask stupid questions.

You'd be surprised. I run BlackIce defender and the amount of trojan and other port scans I get is quite frightening. Getting ADSL when I move into my new flat next week and this sucker's gonna be connected 24/7. That's when security gets useful.

Never, ever turn on file and printer sharing if you can help it. That's tip number one.

If you do need to, get an OS that's meant to handle access security like Linux, Unix or NT/Win2k. If you do use one of these NEVER log on as Admin. Set up a user login for yourself with just enough rights to do what you need. That way if someone compromises your account they still can't manipulate a lot of admin features/settings.

Don't let windows cache your passwords. Turn off the setting in IE that stores encrypted pages on your HD if you use the internet for purchases or banking.

PS: your not a lamor if you're willing to ask and learn.

If lack of knowledge was a condition of lameness, then everyone on this board would still be lame, regardless of the tag below your handle.
'Leet Haxor' get's there because of how much you post here. It doesn't matter whether you spout bullshit or not. Most of us choose the former.
