Like thousands of other music lovers, Scott Hurring recently downloaded a Napster-like music file-sharing program called Grokster to test drive for chasing tunes. A programmer at advertising services agency Graphic Type and a Net veteran, Hurring disliked the program and uninstalled it. Or so he thought.

Should I do that?

Great, the Israeli's are spying on us again. They sure know how to win friends and influence people....

[glock rocks]

yah... as i mentioned in post #13, i forgot i had it... i updated my version and found two
valuewares myself... i doubt zone alarm would have let them do much,
but i'm glad i read this thread. regards.

[riley1992]

Okay, do I do the Ad-Wear or the Zone Alarm or both?

[riley1992]

Okay, I certainly want to be aware of when I am being probed. LOL

Zone Alarm it is.

[glock rocks]

zone alarm is a firewall that will allow you to decide who gets in
or out of your computer... it is the best way to keep yourself from being
hacked. the ad-aware will let you know who's trying to get at your info
but the firewall will prevent it from happening. install the firewall (zone alarm)
and you shouldn't have to worry about the rest...

What They Know Could Hurt You

[riley1992]

Thanks, that's what I'll do.

 I have a four computer, networked printer, and scanner at my house. I depend totally on Zone Alarm Pro, Norton System Works 2000, Adware, and my Linksys Nat firewall. Norton has caught more viruses (and quarantined them) than I want to remember!

 Frequent updates of virus definitions are required! The bad guys are persistent. A great source for security is grc.com this guy is the best geek in the world.

Viruses are not the only attack that can be sent against you computer. There are also Trojans and Worms. Not just servers can get hit and or exploited. See:

http://grc.com/dos/intro.htm

This could allow the use of your machine by an unknown perpetrator to attack other machines such as a DOS attack. I could just see the Feds showing up at a door; "Sir why did you attack this other web site?" etc.

Here are the software packages I run in real-time. These won’t keep you completely secure but they certainly are better than nothing:

Spyblocker

Zone Alarm
http://www.zonelabs.com/

Tauscan
http://www.agnitum.com/

Trojan Hunter Guard
http://www.mischel.dhs.org/trojanhunter.asp

Analog-X Script Defender
< http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/system/sdefend.htm

These are the programs I run occasionally to insure my system is clean:

Ad-Aware

TS-3 Trojan detector and remover
http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/

Any good virus checker and remover such as Norton.

This is a Web site that will give you more information than you ever thought possible about computer security:
