A firewall is just as *necessary* as an antivirus
program.....download it
now. AdAware is necessary too, but not so much as the
first two (sorry,
Silj....grin).

A lot of the new worms/viruses are entering computers via
*open ports*....a
firewall stealths them (they are hidden from the bad bots)

OK?? Heather

I'm wondering if a firewall is necessary? I haven't had
one in the past but see that my new ISP has a freeby
download from Zone Labs. Is this a good thing to have? I
do have anti-spyware & an adaware programs on here.

Thanks, JD
