}}} Why are you concerned about firewalls when your AVG is 4 updates
old????
352 (yours is 348) was issued on 8 Jan.

If you're that keen on security, get what you have working properly
first. {{{

Geeee----thanks for your concern. You're too good to me.

I have and use alternative a/vs. The modem firewall question was for a
friend. I have a switch/router, so know it gives some protection from
incoming. I also use Black Ice for the rest. Capice?
