[Ham-Computers] DSL Security questions, THANKS ALL!

[N9RSU]

Hi all:  

Just my 2 cents: 

I use to use Zone Alarm until a few years ago.  The version new version they
came out with that year had a problem with the McAfee that I was using.  
They use to run good together until that newer version was release & then
they would NOT work together because they were both trying to the same file.

I think it was some .DLL file, but I don't remember.  They both knew about
the problem, but they were arguing about who was going to fix it.  
After that I switched to Norton Internet Security 2003 with the Norton
Anti-Virus.  
FYI:  I use a DSL modem hooked to a Netgear Router using the router
Firewall, then hooked to a 16 port Netgear Switch with has all my computers
networked together.  Each computer is using Norton setup the same way.  
I also use Spybot Search& Destroy v. 1.4,  Spyware Blaster v. 3.4  and
Microsoft AntiSpyware v. 1.0.615 (beta) (it will not work on 95 or 98). 
I also keep everything updated all the time.  You can never let your guard
down these days.  

Hope this helps everyone that is interested.

I disagree, but it's your choice.

What is it telling you?
I've never had a problem.

Make sure that when you open up ZA, you add the other computer as a
TRUSTED system or IP address.
