I only use Iron version 18 with fanboys adblock list, along with Sandboxie, for needed browser protection.
sdmod, thanks for that. I can see how my roommate thought a rootkit was just a Trojan. That is not the case today or the only method used. "The...

RJK3, thanks for that...I am clueless when it comes to sophisticated rootkits of any type. I have also read of users far more advanced than myself...
Not to toss a wrench into the workings here, but what about a sophisticated rootkit like a BIOS rootkit attack? How is an average user like...
Creer, thank you for that link! Exactly what I needed.
Not yet, but will learn Win7's own firewall, when I finally decide to ditch XP and move on to Win7.
I think the best one for yourself, is the one you are willing to learn all about and how to properly set it up and use. Will you be able to...
