Well, I have a router and believe I am somewhat safe but is there somewhere I can go to take a test of some kind to see how safe my system actually is??

This site is pretty popular, try the "probe my ports"

Hey cool! All of my ports are "Stealth!", and it tells me thats very good. Funny, I dont have ZA (that piece o' shyt) or anything close to it, yet my ocmps seems to be fairing very well. :black:

No wonder..2 of my ports are OPEN!. Rest of them are stealth tho.

Thanks Xor...I have 2 ports Stealth and the rest are close. Should I think of any additional Firewall to make it Stealth

yes, closed ports are no good.

you are responding closed ports. ZoneAlarm is free.

good luck!

OMG ZA was the biggest train wreck I've ever had for my computer!! Last tme I had it installed, almost every game I owned wouldnt work unless I disabled Zone Alarm. It got very irritating so I got rid of it. Unless there is a new version, its still crap to me.

Wow, just checked my system and everything was STEALTH! I use Norton 2003.

All clear here! Single IP for all, no way of accessing supposedly from outside, I'm as safe as can be.

umm I run norton antiviurus and it is active when I am not playing games.... is this enough protection? lol

like I said, never had any problems.

Norton AntiVirus is just one area of protection. It will protect you when you accidentally run that attachment from Cindy in marketing that happens to have the OsamuBinFormattin virus on it. Assuming your definitions are up to date. (But awww, look it them puurty pictures she says).

A personal firewall is a little different. A firewall blocks your existence on the internet from port scans and other activity.

And hey Undead. ZA was a trainwreck on your emachine was it?

USER ERROR : REPLACE USER AND TRY AGAIN.
