OT - Computer Security

I found the following site to be good for improving my home computer security on a dial-up connection. And it's free!!!!

grc.com

Click on Shields Up, and follow directions. It tests your computers shields and open ports. I found some open ports on my machine that I was able to close after following some rather lengthy directions.

BTW Many Many (Irwin speak) thanks to Uncle Frank, Mike, Lindey Bill and all you other knights of the round table. I have been a 'long time' lurqer and have gained financial security for my family and knowledge of the stock market that I would never have dreamed of.

Keep up the good work Frank, you are making more changes in peoples lives than you could imagine.

P.S. I understand a firewall is more important with a cable connection as the connection is 'always on' and therefore more vulnerable to an attack than a dial-up which is only on when in use.
