oystercatcher Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I have a small client ( 2 pc's) both are dells with home version xp. The client usescompuserve to connect to the internet. I installed zone alarm free version on both pcs and it seems ok as no problems so far with hackers( yet!) Not using the sp2 firewallas havent read up on it and been using zone alarm a few years without problems.Also since aol/compuserve email is web hosted. Also I have disabled or changed to manual a lot of services which dont seem to be needed.Anyway the client is going to get dsl and am worrying about their security. The userids they logon with are all admin capable, which is an easy change if they will go for it.Looking for suggestions on other stuff to check.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilifrei64 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Well what I would do is get them a router and have that act as their firewall then just dont use the local ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
