Zone alarm is the best.. Norton security is another good one.. I use to get protections against IPs so much when I had ME. I had one every 10 sec, I had over 140 blocks in less then 10 min.. it was very annoying.

Go to zonlabs.com and then go to the downlaod bit and u can pick a free one a 30day trial one or a pay one.k.

lol
most blocks you get are just your programs.. like aim for example would probably give you a block and all the programs that work on ports which are not common (like 80 would be ok for the firewall..) and stuff.. It just protects agaisnt everything on non common ports. so you have to usually manually set everything correctly (like Graal and all)

I just downloaded the ZoneAlarm firewall(even though I have a built-in firewall with my cable modem).

Um. Don't be scared to be on the forums unless you have an active trojan running on your computer...

Yeah, it was just about the exact same thing somebody else had already stated, heh.
Let's say it a bunch of times, and maybe kids will stop downloading trainers ^_^
