Thanks to Don Rose, et all, for suggesting a good product that is easy to use and configure (ZoneAlarm). Those of us with 'just a 56k connection' should be as protected as the Cable and DSL people. Since installing ZoneAlarm, I have been alerted to many attempts to access my computer. That's a pretty frightening thought considering I have my checking accounts on the computer. I ain't Midas, but I sure couldn't afford to be wiped clean either. Also, before installing ZoneAlarm, I ran the "Test My Shields" and "Probe My Ports". While I tested ok, I decided to try out the free shareware program. I am running the Test and Probe again, and with minimal computer knowledge and a little common sense, I am in Stealth mode. That's a good thing for those of you that don't know. ..and I thought having my own domain would get rid of the junk mail...HA!..how wrong I was..my junk mail has been real active lately. I am looking forward to junk mail being greatly decreased as of today..and I feel alot better about my check books. Is there better protection with the "Pro" version? I have seen the light (yet again), Rook
