Any other App I need for 'safe surfing' ?

[Huwge]

After reformat I'm running SafeXP, Online Armor, Kerio Firewall and NOD32. Any thing else really needed considering I dont go to the dark side ?

[WSFuser]

not really

[Huwge]

First time trialling Kerio FW. I have it set in simple mode. Just realised I would have to reinstall to put it in expert mode (shows alerts). I play some online games. Will it block on the simple mode..and is there any benefit to me going to advanced? I'm on a learning curve with FWs at the moment

[WSFuser]

what do u mean by block?

[Huwge]

On previous FWs I see a pop up telling me soandso is trying to connect to the net. Seems I only get pop ups in expert mode. Wondering if the FW will just block the outgoing connection without asking. If it allows it then is this a bit dangerous without asking first ?

[WSFuser]

i just found out that in simple mode it allows outgoing connections.

Got it sorted now thanks.

Going back to my original question, i was thinking of script / worm/ rootkit applications....any think I need ?

[WSFuser]

if u dont go to the dark side ur current setup is fine. i mean i got to the dark side, yet i just have looknstop, avast, a few hardening utilities, proxomitron and a router.

Huwge,

I don't mean to be sarcastic.

I don't think all your apps would match up to just using Linux for safe surfing.

If you don't have risky surfing habits you probably don't need more programs.

So what was the epiphany you had in February?
