    Or even Sygate Personal Firewall......

    Another free download, and for my money nicer than Zonealarm, and in every test I have done, my system has always passed brilliantly...

    And if you want to know how well your system is hidden... try this site....

    You can test your system for free..... And learn a lot about Net security.

    by the way, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this stuff... Should it be in Tech or somewhere??
    All of this might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device, sitting on someone's table.

    To be honest it's really fine in either, but im moving it to techie just so the thread can be seen in both.
