I use sygate personal firewall pro and pest patrol. As soon as I opened
  firehole.exe pest patrol popped up with a warning did I want to delete
the pest. I clicked on start in firehole. It started to load netscape
7, my browser and sygate firewall popped up with a warning that a new
dll had tried to run and named the firehole.dll asking if I wanted it to
run. So I was protected two ways.
