[dba-Tech] WXP Inbult Firewall

True, but they're not Microsoft and therefore aren't such a big target :-)

I like the thought. But if you go down that route then can't the same be
said of any major Firewall package?

Andy 

Personally (and it might just be me being paranoid) but if Microsoft ship it
then everyone in the world has it, right? So all the hackers have it too and
know how to hack it?

That's enough reason for me not to consider using it.

Personally I use ZoneAlarm because I already did before I switched from 
W98 to WXP. But friends are asking me what's wrong with just switching 
on XP's inbuilt firewall (ICF). I don't know the answer. Anyone?
