Hi to everyone, I am new to this list. I am Marco and I am a college student. I have already sent this message once, but I did not see it arrived (and any reply). If you have received it (and replied), sorry for the re-post. I would like to have some suggestion for software for security (port scan, firewall, etc.); I have a Pentium III, 256 Mb of RAM, 20 GB of Hd, dialup connection (I should upgrade to cable connection in few days) and WinME (I am thinking to upgrade to XP). Since I am currently just a student and (except for some homework for the college) I use the computer for personal stuff (games, e-mail, etc.) and since I want to learn the topic of security (in fact the next accademic year I will study computer management), I am interested to basic software and not professional versions; if it is freeware, better. Currently I already have McAfee VirusScan 5.21 and ZoneAlarm 3.1.395 (the freeware version). Thank in advance.
