<DIV><BR></DIV>Glen,<BR><BR>Thanks! I'll check out the sites you gave. To be
honest, so far I've been<BR>procrastinating on a really good
virus-Tojan-worm-... (what else?) protection.<BR>For weekly checks I use Trend
Micro HouseCall, i.e. doing it through the Web<BR>(it's on <A
href="http://housecall.antivirus.com";>http://housecall.antivirus.com</A>
if somebody interested). It caught a<BR>couple weeks ago a dormant Trojan on
my HD. So, no round-the-clock sentinel<BR>yet. Not sure about a
firewall, since mine is a single machine, File/Printer<BR>Sharing is off , how
much more protection does one need then? O, certainly,<BR>it's not to doubt
sense of a firewall, but the question reflects rather my <BR>inner struggle I
know I am losing trying to escape an obvious need to do<BR>something more on
this virus-shmirus stuff <g>.<BR><BR>Cheers, Vitaly<BR><BR><BR>Glen

Also, consider a firewall (yes, Ken and Walter, I am climbing onto my<BR>>
soapbox again) for a higher level of protection. As a temporary
measure,<BR>> check out a freeware application named NukeNabber to at least
monitor the<BR>> more vulnerable ports. Download it from a reliable site
like www.tucows.com<BR>> because there
are hacked versions out there.<BR>><BR>> Some other free security
