Please tell me you have or will be downloading a firewall?
On the Internet, hackers use malicious code—viruses, worms, and Trojan horses—to try to find unprotected computers.
While some attacks are just nuisances that may play simple pranks, others are created with malicious intent.
These more severe strains may attempt to delete information from your computer, crash it, or even steal personal information, such as passwords or credit card numbers.
Fortunately, you can reduce your risk of infection by using a firewall.

Yes I always had a firewall on Zuba - always used the Norton one but I have just deleted it today so I have turned the windows firewall back on again now (cos you aren't meant to have them both on together in case they conflict)

So worried that you were gonna go online with no firewall, not that I think you are stupid its just that I told you to get rid of Norton, so panicked

Glad to hear you have got Zonealarm, i will let you know if anything better comes on the market

I might not have remembered actually but when I was uninstalling the Norton it asked me whether it should turn the windows firewall back on again (that was thoughtful of them considering I was giving them the boot ) so I said yes. So thanks for the reminder anyway
