       The trojan scare this morning has caused me to upgrade my Internet
"defenses." First, I turned Spybot's immunization feature back on. Then I
disabled the XP Firewall, and installed the free firewall offered by my
anti-virus program, Computer Associates. It's basically ZoneAlarm 4.5 with
a different logo. I configured this new firewall to block pop-up ads, web
bugs, and 3rd party cookies.
