    Hey ,

    I'm about to order IOL Broadband but am worried about vunerabilities of an alaways on connection.

    I am currently on dial up with Tiny & Zone Alarm Pro Running simultanously.

    Should i stay with these or buy / download something like Macafee Firewall or Norton Internet Security?

    Thanx

    IOL give a "free internet security package" with their BB offering. If youre feeling ultra paranoid you could always invest in a BB modem or router with a built in firewall

    Norton or McAfee aren't any better that what you've already got imo. Having 2 firewalls running is pretty pointless too. Both Tiny and ZA are good, I'd choose a favourite and kill the other one. It's only wasting resources.
