THANK YOU LINDA!!!!!!

I have been preaching this for most of this year [ Sharon have you done it
yet? ]. This can be a dangerous, for you, situation. Either use "Zone Alarm"
as in the article or use "Black Ice Defender". Black Ice Defender is a bit
more robust, It will tell you who is trying to hack your system and where
they came from [ IP address ] , and allow you to counterattack, but it has
to be bought and can be a bit more finicky about setting up. Zone Alarm is a
freebie *<[:o) and is targeted more to the home market.

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!, if you have a cable or DSL connection install a
firewall. If you thought it was bad that that place was selling links to
your information on the web just imagine what you would think if someone
"stole" everything on your computer and deleted it off your machine. You
come home to a blank hard drive.

I'll get off my soapbox now,
Hugs
Bill
