Hello;
I have followed the advice of the MVP folk within this
NEWWGROUP AND INSTALLED ZoneAlarm on a trial basis. To
date I have found it satisfactory and definitely user
friendly. My knowledge on the subject of firewalls is of a
meager kind and do not know whether 2 firewalls is
adviseable...my gut feeling is one is necessary and
sufficient.
