This is nonsense. Apart from the fact BlackICE does not monitor outbound traffic - only blocking incoming unless specified otherwose and in the time I have used it I have had 100% security from it - which has been tested by several 'how safe is your machine' tools.
With a ShieldsUP! test, my machine passed and since this Security bod seems to promote it, it can't be that bad. With my firewall and my two AV apps running I have never been more secure. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Chiverton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 January 2003 17:06 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Goodbye cruel world On Tuesday 21 Jan 2003 16:53 pm, Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) wrote: > I use BlackICE with no complaints...its really secure.
