http://www.signal9.com   You can get pcfirewall at that url.   Read the
information carefully and when you begin to use it in "training mode", you
can tell it what to allow and what not to allow in terms of data and links
to your box.  Even with this, you are sending out data and receiving same
over the home.com servers and if they *really* wanted to know, they could
track what you've been up to in terms of where you've been on the web.  Oh,
the pcfirewall is about $40.00 U.S.
