[Rhodes22-list] virus?

[Mark Kaynor]

Peter,

A personal firewall is definitely a good idea. ZoneAlarm is a good one, but
I like the Sygate Personal Firewall - it's also free, very easy to use and
works well. Here's a link to it:

Rummy,

Thanks for the suggestions.  My McAfee antivirus automatically updates
itself whenever the "Big McAfee" says to, so I never have to do it manually.

I'm also using Spy-Bot Search and Destroy about once a week.

Haven't heard about zonelabs.  The guys who installed our home network said
it was a firewall.  Do you think this would this be sufficient?

PT
