I run Win 2K with zonealarm, and I have been pretty happy with it. I'm using the shareware version now, and I believe I'm going to drop the $40 for the pro version. Just like the article says, 99% of the port scans are "legit" attempts from data miners to get cookie info from your system. I have had a few port scans now that I wasn't to sure about. One was an IP address listed as some invstigation firm in Mexico City. That one was kind of wierd. Anyway, I do like to know who is trying to get info from me, and the shareware from zonealarm does it well. I am sure that there are people out there without a clue that are calling administrators complaining about port scans that are, sadly, becoming routine. All in all, I won't connect to the net without my firewall running. Anymore who knows what might happen?
