An additional firewall to check out: LooknStop. I liked it so much that I registered it. It's a rules based firewall with application filtering,internet filtering(rules),a great logging feature. It's light on resources and has a 30 day trial. Check it out,you may be as surprised as I was! It has two sets of rules included.The enhanced rules pass the stealth tests. There is an excellent support forum at the Spyblocker forum site. Works on dialup,cable,dsl connection. www.LooknStop.com/En
Regards, JB.
