What software firewall solution is truly suitable for Grandma? As invisible to the user as possible, of course, since this Grandma doesn't understand most of the 'little window thingies' that spontaneously appear already. (you know at least one - the manic 'ok' clicker...) Additional hardware of any kind is not permitted, this has to be a software solution under WinME.
Get her a $50 (Linksys, SMC, etc.) DSL router. Set it up for her, and then tell her to have fun, put patch and keep her AV software up to date.
