    Hi guys I just want to get your opinion about this. Im not sure if the firewall in my router is enough to keep the hackers away or do I still need to install a firewall in my notebook. Anyway, I'm using a Linksys WRT54G router wirelessly in our home network. Thanx!

    Go to grc.com and run shields up. You probably are protected, but keep Zone Alarm available for use on the road.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?
