lol u might say that but the computer holds important things and things do sneak through now and then so going the extra mile sort of helps.0 -
Router firewall, Norton AV, ZoneAlarm Free. Am going to ditch last two for something better.
BTW is there a way to test the effectiveness of a securirty setup? Any progs or websites? Have tried Shields Up at www.grc.com and it says my ports are all "Stealth". But I don't know how comprehensive the tests are on that site, or even what they're for exactly.

Hey Ric, I know you were a big fan of Avira but according to the tables in the second link Avira was rated way down the list. Have they gone off the boil or have I mis-read the results?0 -

That's referring to the firewall in the security suite, not the free AV, also note it still beats Eset, Panda and AVG. HTH.Move along, nothing to see.0
