      I believe you can set ZA to alert you only during certain hack attempts. Try that. ZA is the best.

            I agree. ZA is best unless you want to get a hardware firewall. If you go out and get a simple Netgear or D-Link router it comes with a firewall in it. Or you can get the wireless setup for less than $300 which also gives you a firewall.

            If you are sticking to Zone Alarm, make sure you upgrade to ZA pro. It's worth it.

                  If you are going to use a personal firewall, read this:
                  http://www.samspade.org/d/persfire.html

                  They tend to give out tons of falses, so wasting the time of abuse@ contacts should be avoided...

                        use a mac
                        dont use a pc, firewalls are very little protection against a good hacker
                        open bsd is the securest version of nix

                        the end

                          Turn off your internet connection when your not working on the computer.
                          Simple but effective at stopping hacks while your away.
                          My computer must be on 4-5 hours each day when I'm not infront of it.

                          Zone Alarm Pro is my choice for a software firewall.

                                You have to learn how to config ZoneAlarm..
                                And getting a cheap little router is not the answer hackers can still get through them....If you have a router and Zonealarm (I do) it's a lot safer... If these very big company's can't keep out a good hacker with $ 100,000.00 worth of Equp. do you really think you are with $200.00 or $300.00 worth of stuff... just hope they are not getting in your competer... if you mouse is moving around by it's self you have a virus or worm... forget which one... read about it.... so you will have to do some research... And get a good Virus checker... sound's like you have Mcafee...

                                      yes it was one of those. I got norton and that fixed it. I just dont think norton alone will keep people out. I guess i will have to fuck around with ZA's config.

                                        Yip it could be Netbus, sub7? backorafice but that's not the one I read about... I looked for some notes and can not find them.. Above one's I know about but the one I read about I had never heard of.. Oh by the way someone one this board said a good file sharing program (like KaZaA Lite) was Ezula... do not ever install this shit on your computer....

                                            Well, actually, popular programs have bugs, so unless your (software) firewall updates with a new patch quite often, and you ALWAYS keep it up to date, they don't help much.

                                            Remember, 99% of 'hackers' are just script kiddies. They just kick it to places like blacksun.box.sk and read a few tutorials, and learn how to exploit older versions of programs, such as windows/pc anywhere/firewalls, etc etc.

                                            If you keep everything up to date, unless someone really knows their stuff, you are untouchable.

                                            Here are your friends for windows:
                                            http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...ty/default.asp

                                            For security updates specifically, and IE exploits.

                                            And of course:
                                            http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

                                            Critical updates cover the broader security problems too.

                                            Keep up to date on this stuff. Running a firewall pretty much sets off a siren to script kiddies. "Look! i have stuff which important and cool on my computer, and I need to protect it!" Makes it fun for them to hack in.

                                              Unplug the cable that leads to the modem.

                                              Nobody will hack it remotely if you do this.

                                              Unplug the cable that goes to the power on the wall.

                                              Nobody can hack it from home this way.

                                                          If you have an old Pentium I or II left somewhere, goto www.astaro.com . And install it on that machine, the only way to keep hackers out is to have a firewall. Windows software sucks bigtime as a firewall...

                                                          Just get astaro...
                                                          U get get a free home use licence, it really rocks. Its a linux based firewall using iptables. Or pay me like $150,- an hour ...

                                                            a router has cleared that problem up for me. Also there is Black Ice defender but I am not sure how effective it is.

                                                                IMHO, Windows XP's "Personal Firewall" is actually pretty decent. I've been using it lately and like it.

                                                                    www.tinysoftware.com

                                                                    Their latest version, which I believe is 3.0, now requires purchase. But you can download a fully functional thirty day trial.

                                                                    It's a really solid personal firewall and I think better then all the rest that are out there.
