I miss Black ICE. It made you invisible to the internet. Is there anything like it today?
Black Ice didn’t obfuscate your presence. It was just a firewall program with a heuristics engine. Modern operating Systems are better than black ice ever was.
If you have automatic updates turned on in Windows, you have the path already. It was pushed back in March.
