Firewall

I was just reviewing the network security on the 5 computers running in my house. This reminded me to remind you about firewalls.

Here it is in simple terms. If you have a cable modem and are not running a firewall of some kind such as Zone Alarm or a router then you are stupid. Yep, I will tell you to your face that you are stupid. People can EASILY find your computer and steal shit on it. Just like leaving you car unlocked in Harlem overnight.

Zone Alarm is an award winning TOTALLY FREE firewall! If you aren't behind a router then get Zone Alarm from www.zonelabs.com It is simple to use and won't bog your computer down. I use it and a router.
