Thanks Stem. Very clear and useful post. Would you consider the filtering of Windows' firewall sufficient or not? Or is it too basic?
Hi Vijayind. No need to apologize, I'm just paranoid -:) I just still don't know if Windows firewall will suffice behind a router (apart from if...
Are you using it alongside your router firewall (or are you using the router's firewall only?)? If so, have you ever experienced compatibility...
Might Threatfire Free be of any use to me?
Can you mention some vendors? Does Linksys apply in the case? If I'm not mistaken Linksys is part of Cisco? Perhaps Thomson has improved with...
You're still using the router in combination with a software firewall (which could even be Win XP/Vista's firewall I guess)? It's hard to find...
Which router (brand/model) was that and what was the software firewall? I have to admit that I'm becoming increasingly worried. I always...
From this I gather you have a SpeedTouch yourself? What about models later than 535 v6? Are they better? What is that ARP flood at less than...
Is filtering also basic on home routers with SPI and IDS (Linksys/Alcatel-Speedtouch for example)? Many people are using these kind of...
OK, that's clear. I guess this kind of discussion can go on and on. I think I misunderstood you in your previous post. Home routers aren't...
Again, what is the definition of cheap? Or is the conclusion/opinion that every home router is crap? I mean, does your remark apply to a...
I haven't had my computer on for 2 weeks because I wasn't home. Today I switched on and I find that NOD has trouble updating. No matter which...
@vijayind: I have WinXP firewall and a home router with SPI. Do you think this covers the things mentioned in your post?
Thanks for the tip. I have taken a look on the website you mention and I see quite a few versions of Sygate there. Which of the 5.6 versions...
As a matter of fact this applies to me -:) What (free) firewalls would suit these needs in your opinion?
Is it known how one gets infected by this virus? Wouldn't it infect ALL executables instead of just a few?
Thanks! Is Kerio 2.1.5. easy to set up? In other words, can I set-and-forget or does it need extensive user input. I'm behind a home router so...
Can someone provide a downloadlink for KPF 2.1.5?
Why not? It also depends on the definition of 'cheap' I guess? What kind of brands would you describe as 'cheap' and therefore not really suitable?
This 'beta' will not be available through the auto updater in the program (I'm using the Free version) until it's approved and 'final' I gather?
Is DEP present by default in all XP versions (Home and Professional)? If this is the case, where can I find it?
OK, thanks. Wouldn't these scans appear in the router's log files anyway (so with alarm turned off)?
OK, just out of curiosity: what caused this message from your router? If I understand it correctly a connection to ESET's page was made from one...
Hi Pieter, on what kind of router (brand and model) was this?
I have been doing some reading and it appears that this message is caused by my router. Apparently it has poor port randomisation (Speedtouch 780,...
