You DO have firewall software, I hope!
A firey wall? Why would I want a wall of fire in my home? *snicker*
Of course I do. It's an unfortunate necessity for Windows based machines. I can't really get around that, unless I wanted to go with a Mac (although I guess they should be secured too, but they aren't as vulnerable as Windows). Besides, Macs aren't as compatable, at least it doesn't seem to me, with all the programs out there as Windows seems to be. If I had a business though, I'd be using Macs.
