Hi Jonathan.

I would like to thank you for giving me the information, that there is a
free firewall existing.

I have for an hour and a half ago installed zonealarm.
During this time, it has given me 67 alerts and out of those, 18 were
red-ones.

Again, Jonathan. I thank you, and will suggest everyone to do the same.

Brian

Install:

As soon as you can!

Get a firewall! You NEED one. There are several free ones, including
ZoneAlarm ( www.zonealarm.com ) and Sygate ( www.sygate.com )

Then go to WindowsUpdate to pick up the latest updates:
