Re: Bagle virus

Hi !
If you want to use Zone Alarm you don't need the Professional version
because the free one is good ,too.

I strongly believe and recommend you use Windows Firewall which is
integrated in Windows XP SP2 .As you are home user ,goto Control Panel -
Windows Firewall and then make sure it is ON with Don't allow exceptions
checked.

If you don't have Win XP SP2 ,then you may download the free version of Zone
Alarm.

Don't forget about the spyware protection and things like that.
