>>I think I need a software fire wall on my notebook. I used to use ZA 4.0 which was good. But then when they went to version 5.0 I heard some horror stories of things not working. So I never upgraded to 5.0. Then when I bought my new notebook I didn't install any firewall. I have McAfee AV, that's all. And I don't want to upgrade to the new version of McAfee because I saw a couple of messages on UT about problems with VS2005 and McAfee.

>The horror stories I heard - I
think it was about ZA - was a tale of the company being bought up, and converting ZA into spyware or something like that.
You are exactly right. But I was not sure if their problems finally got resolved. However, now that Sergey recommended something, I can't go wrong when following his advise.
Thank you for your input.
