Count The Currency With This Online Positive Cashflow CalculatorHi Redwing,
sorry name mistake with subzero, its actually sub7, but overall its exactly as what i described, go to this site, these guys are the anti hackers…
http://www.grc.com/default.htm
and go to there hot spots and do the sheild up test + the leak test, this will test your firewall to see if it, is completly unpassable.
but best to save this site to your favourites, http://www.grc.com, and every now and again just test your firewall to make sure its in complete working order..
you should be right, afterwards, with the sheild and leak test, testings.
Cheers,
sisIt’s OK, have other programs installed now, such as adaware, AVG,spyware doctor.. can’t be too carefull..[biggrin]

firewall test against, blackice http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htmCheers,
sisRedwing,
BlackIce is a personal firewall but Steve Gibson has always had a thing against it – probably for good reason. I’ve always used ZoneAlarm myself. XP has a built-in firewall if you want to use that, although ZA is probably better.
SP2 for XP has only just been released. Personally I wouldn’t install it until it’s been around for a while. Let someone else find the major bugs.
Also, did you know that laptops aren’t subject to FBT? If you’re working or have your own company, you can get the company to reimburse you for it and take it as a salary sacrifice. That way you effectively get to buy it with before-tax money, and you can still depreciate it yourself if you’re using it for business-related purposes. If you didn’t know that, ask your accountant about it.
