Grand total spent on this security: $0! You can check http://www.tucows.com for all these programs, they're all freeware & easy to use. Am I paranoid? No, they are really out to get me. Am I cheap? Yes, but I have better things to spend my money on. I'm planning on running a Linux proxy server with a honey pot if things get any worse with the script kidz & virii probing my home network. Rev.
