Arthur, I concur with Bobby. Regardless of Drew's feelings on the subject, or for that matter Bryan's situation, I believe a software firewall like ZoneAlarm DOES serve its purpose very well. Using ZoneAlarm, NOTHING can access the internet or conversely allow connections FROM the internet unless you SPECIFICALLY grant it that right. Different strokes and all that...ymmv.

I run both.

Given that I have a LinkSys router, is any additional software firewall redundant? Arthur > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
