In my config, ZoneAlarm even seems to succesfully block incoming
traffic (including ping, if I want), [hopefully]. My W2K System
at least successfully survives all tests at ShieldsUp:

Yes, this is REALLY good against standard attackers. The only
fear I have here is: what if the kids start to hack viruses
in Java, which I gave access to the internet naturally?

Shouldn't I have said that? But Java is sort of an OS, it at least
can read and write my files, with internet access some Java prog
started by me can do to the world whatever it wants. And do we
really know, what's done inside some downloaded jar?

regards
