Torsten's and my site are as trusted or as untrusted as any "Personal
Firewall" manufacturor's homepage.

But: in contrast to most of the "Personal Firewalls", Torsten's script
and my small program are Free Software.

You can get the source code, and check yourself, what it's doing.
Please feel free to do so.

Torsten's script is in source code (as every script), you can find the
source code for my small program here:

http://www.dingens.org/win32sec-en-src.zip

You can compile this with Microsoft Visual C++, or with MinGW.

Yours,
VB.
