Re: Firewall Solution

["Hall, Rand" <hallr () MERRIMACK EDU>]

We're just using Wildfire "out-of-the-box" and it's great. I probably get
about 20 Wildfire emails a day. After a while you come to understand what
you can ignore (things like new versions of user opt-in junkware like
toolbars). At times it seems like an almost real time 0wnage notification
system :-) There have been a few cases where I could see the whole process
take place: the initial plant, and then a succession of nasties added on.
