    Zone Alarm and AVG failed me today

    I am still in the process of rebuilding everything.

    Whatever happened blocked me from being an administrator, making any msconfig changes, accessing System in Control Panel, turned off Restore and Microsoft Anti-Spyware and AVG and deleted all of my restore points as well as corrupted any attempt at restoring existing internet access... I finally managed to reinstalled XP and am working on reinstalling everything else... this totally qualifies as sucks.

    On a happier note, 6 and a half hours later I am saying hi to you guys

                    Is there any utility you can use to test if your computer is vulnerable? I have used various software firewalls, but I always wonder if they are doing any good.

                        This is pretty good. Great to tweak firewalls....

                            I am fanatical about daily scans and keeping up with updates. Whatever this was, it still got me.

                              As much as I tried to save I keep finding things I can't believe I forgot about....
