Hi guys, there were quite a few warnings lately bout virus protection. Well I just thought I'd post a warning that for the last two days my firewall has been detecting loads of attempts [seven or eight at a time] by a Trojan to gain access to my PC when I come online.
It is well worth having some form of firewall installed as well as anti virus software.

If anyone out there needs a Fire Wall program for their computer, a company named "ZoneAlarm" makes a great fire wall program. They provide it free to individuals to use on their personal computers. The down side is that you have to put up with them trying to sell you their upgraded version every so often. However, in my opinion the program is good enought to put up with this. If anyone is interested, go to this web page.

http://www.zonealarm.com

Be sure to look for the FREE version.

BTW, I am not affiliated with this company, nor do I gain anything from anybody using this program. I just think is good and am passing this info along.
