I downloaded and Installed ZoneAlarm Security Suite which is Antivirus, Firewall, and Antispyware.

I tested it with that link above and I got these results...

GRC Port Authority Report created on UTC: 2006-02-19 at 08:49:55

Results from scan of ports: 0-1055

1052 Ports Open

   1 Ports Closed

   3 Ports Stealth

---------------------

1056 Ports Tested

The port found to be CLOSED was: 443

Ports found to be STEALTH were: 21, 23, 179

Other than what is listed above, all ports are OPEN.

TruStealth: FAILED - NOT all tested ports were STEALTH,

                  - NO unsolicited packets were received,

                  - A PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) WAS RECEIVED.

I thought ZoneAlarm was an excellent firewall?  These are the same results I had with Norton

Edit:  Ok ZoneAlarm is being stupid and wont let FireFox go anywhere.  I have gave it permission but when trying to go to any website it is SUPER suPER SUPER slow like 1/4 dialup if not slower.  When I close ZoneAlarm everything works fine...

I thought Norton was really tough to uninstall...and it came with my laptop so I was like Ok I guess Ill leave it....Are there any good anti virus and firewalls in one program that happen to be free?

I guess I sort of have a problem...

Time to Jump off Norton Internet Security 2005...?

I just tweaked my FIREFOX browser. I'm using a 512K WILDBLUE . Before I got 536K's;Know I got 649K's.It's called FASTERFOX on the extentions. NEATO!!!!

Wouldnt that like waste your FAP bandwith?

Cingular Wireless

At my house i give it like a 5 because yeah it doesnt work to great were I live.  But everywhere else like 9.5 + cool phones

My phone currently is Sony Ericsson S710.  Its pretty neat since no one has it at my school.  Its kinda big but I love the 1.3 megapixel camera, and the screen is big and nice.  Overall I give it about 8.6/10

How do you guys get your FireFox speeds so good?  When I always test I either use IE or Opera.  For browsing I use Opera.  I love FF but it seems slower than both while browsing, and when I do a speed tests its always at the highest around 70-80 kB/s compared to like 130 kB/s with Opera/IE.

wow, im like in awe......

What satellite, transponder, system, plan are you on?

I like the white look.  It makes it seem some what more "better".  Just my 2 cents.

Whats so bad about Norton?  Im using it because it came pre installed on my laptop and its been pretty good so far...

Now that Opera is integrating a bittorrent ability into it im switching over to it full time.

I use Opera because FF is slow for satellite.  Where did you here this?

You and some neighbors should split the cost of a t1 or some kind of dedicated dsl, might be better than d-way because it would certainly be more reliable.

I've lived in the neighborhood for almost 6 years now and I dont like even know but 1 of my neighbors. lol everyone kinda keeps to them selves

I put in an XP sp2 cd and ran the SFC utility.  It finished and I rebooted...still the same thing.

Also If I wanted to restore my computer to like a month ago, how would I do that?  When I go into System Restore Like it only shows the restore points for the month of February, I try to click the thing to change the months back but nothing happens......

what you do NOT get is

-- faster download speeds!

I get faster download speeds after I upgraded to the Pro Package...

What is the SFC utility?

Edit:  Ok nvm i scrolled up and saw your earlier post.

Well I finally found my Xp sp2 cd and did the repair.  It still does it and its more frequent.  Like right after i click Dont Send it refreshes the desktop and everything then pops up 2 seconds later.  Any other ideas?  I have scanned my system with AVG anti virus and it came clean, scanned with Spbot and Adaware and nothing is found.  What to do know?

Hey guys, what is a good antivirus software and firewall that is very light on resources.  I really need something for my old pentium 3 400 MHz lol

Any suggestions? ^^^^

I dont really live in the "boonies" like other DirecWay users.  Im surrounded by houses in a fairly sized neighborhood, its just that I guess its like 1 mile out of the small city so we dont have Dsl or Cable but they do.  So its either dialup or DirecWay.

Evening Speeds suck!

I had dialup for like 6 years...never knew you could do that.  I recently got satellite internet (way better than dialup).

I have Norton Internet Security because it came with my laptop.........

Best Buy lost by brothers laptop once.  It was a Fujitsu and was fairly new and somehow they lost it in shipping.  My brother b*tched them out and tricked some new girl to give him a top of the line Sony Vaio instead of the p.o.s. they were trying to give him. 

Dvd drive went out on the sony and he took it back, took them a month to fix it!

What are so bad about celerons?

Hmm, All I know is Is IE is crap, FireFox is the best, but I love Opera because its working best on Satellite Internet (FF is crap on satellite)

Is it easy to uninstall this version of IE? or does Microsoft make it very difficult?
