Thanks Martin. I just downloaded "Shoot the Messenger."

Is there anything that is for the Macintosh? Or are we mac folks left out in the cold again?

bookmarked.

Thanks. You might think it's not an exhaustive list. I got tired just thinking about doing everything that needs to be done.

Especially after visiting aztlan.net the other night. Which I recommend no one visit unless they are equipped with the type of protection you kindly linked to for us.

I like Zone Alarm.

[WhiteGuy]

Thanks for the resource

[P.O.E.]

Thanks for the links.

With commercial TV headed into the crapper, and with the "Do Not Call List" now making headway, I'd expect only more of the same intrusions on my PC from all fronts.

Thanks.
