[AT] OT : ! puter question for dsl

[charlie hill]

Ivan,  do a web search for Zone Labs or Zone Alarm and download the free 
version of Zone Alarm.   That should take care of any one trying to bust 
into your system.

After you get it installed and set up like you want it run a search for
"Shields up".  That should take you to a site ( I can't remember it's name). 
When you get there there will be a link you can click that says "probe my 
ports".  If you have Zone Alarm turned up high enough that site won't even 
be able to "see" your computer and you will know you are ok.
