For those of you that are on a full time connection such as Cable or DSL, you should have a Firewall. A Firewall is simply a Wall between your Computer and the Internet, if you do not have this anyone with the right software can be on your system and you will not even know they are there. The Firewall only allows entry or exits through the wall that allow and stops all others. The Best and very user friendly is Zone Alarm Pro there is also a free version. I have been using this for 2 years and get nervous when it is turned off, I recently hit the Stop All Internet Activity Button and with in 10 min I had 500 hits at my Computer. For more info on Zone Alarm go to Windows Utilities
