Firewall for bband ?

djmike · 2003-11-20 18:40:12

Hey , I'm about to order IOL Broadband but am worried about vunerabilities of an alaways on connection. I am currently on dial up with Tiny & Zone Alarm Pro Running simultanously. Should i stay with these or buy / download something like Macafee Firewall or Norton Internet Security? Thanx The One known as djmike

IOL give a "free internet security package" with their BB offering. If youre feeling ultra paranoid you could always invest in a BB modem or router with a built in firewall

Norton or McAfee aren't any better that what you've already got imo. Having 2 firewalls running is pretty pointless too. Both Tiny and ZA are good, I'd choose a favourite and kill the other one. It's only wasting resources.
