Hi Oma
Being the Paranoid (and probably a little schizophrenic)
I use the hardware and the Software
Hardware
--------------
- Sonicwall SOHO2 (approx. $419.00 Buy.com) www.sonicwall.com
Software
-------------
- Zonealarm Pro ($39.95) from www.zonelabs.com
- McAfee Vshield ($???) from www.nai.com or www.mcafee.com
- Lavasoft Ad-Aware Plus ($15.00) www.lavasoftUSA.com
But your safe with ZoneAlarm Pro as a very good and inexpensive software
option. You will need to go with the Pro version which will allow you to
customize access configuration. I run a web-cam and ZoneAlarm Pro was need
to open only the IP Addresses I wanted to allow access to my web cam.
