How Secure is Your Home LAN?

Excerpt:
I'm also a big fan of ZoneAlarm, because I like the way it
forces outgoing programs that it's never seen before to say
"may I" before they can use the Internet connection.
ZoneAlarm, however, can't defend against programs that
register as browser helpers and are thereby free to use port
80 for whatever they want.

tc, re: error message. Unfortunately, it's back. Will wait for the weekend & continue with the list. I might also see if I can get any info from the tech at the place that assembled my computer. Will let you know. BTW I get into Safe mode by pressing the control key after the beep, until the start menu appears (101 ways to get into Safe Mode :)

d.a.
