Might I recommend to read the FAQ of the (German speaking) newsgroup de.comp.security.firewall? http://www.iks-jena.de/mitarb/lutz/usenet/Firewall.html or the English version here: http://www.blood-thirsty-barbarians.de/Firewall.html Although some of the arguments might seem a bit exaggerated at first, I can tell from my own experience that not using a personal firewall isn't much of a loss. You only have to keep up with security updates for your system, but shouldn't everyone do that? ;-) -- Regards, Lars The Bat! 1.62/Beta5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
