Re: Zone Alarm or not?


I simply don't trust wireless networks. Period. my house is completely networked with hardware firewall and server running Norton corporate. Outside of this xp/vista firewall on individual pcs is all thats needed to prevent 100% nasties getting through. I have been surfing and downloading from many questionable sites for the last 5 years with no problems yet.

Basically there is a seasaw between convience and security, but if you are willing to put up with some inconvience physically then you don't need to suffer with poor or bloated software issues.

hope this helps
