Dear look'n'stop users and support team,
Hi buddies!
What is the most recommendable look'n'stop 2.06 settings for the home user? I mean someone whom has a domestic network (between 2 computers), a router, hardware firewall and cable adsl. Best Regards.

Hi carioca :)

An opinion (only):

LNS on each PC of your local network,
Use the LNS Enhanced rules
(For local network config. check on the LNS web site...)

Nothings more. With LNS + a router/HW Firewall you're protected...

but

Don't forget that a FW is one of your protection layers:

- Keep Windows , drivers and applications up-to-date

- Have an anti-virus updated and set for the "On Access" protection

- Have some a anti-spywares. Example:

Spyware Blaster : to immunise against malwares
Spy Bot Search & Destroy : immunise and on demand scan
Windows Defender: On access ...

- Have a well feeded HOSTS file:

- Use Firefox with the extension NoScript (and don't use IE...)

- Don't forget the safe-hex:
