RE: Security on a home DSL Line

Hmm.. Zone Alarm is a nice product, but I'd prefer to use 
BlackIce Defender
for all my Wintel boxes.

When I was Director at SBCIS we dev/null complaints coming in from BlackICE.  It tends to report unnecessary 
information or attempts.  It said things about TCP 80, it would report customers other windows boxes on the same home 
DSL line doing netbios, and sometimes depending on their mail client setup's would report them check their own E-Mail.
