quote:Off topic a bit but I am in a bit of a bind and needed some advice I have seen given before on this list. I run three online shops, support two mail order businesses, and am part of to many exchanges, topsites, email lists, forums, etc to keep track of. In the past three years I have also managed to piss off a good hand full of various people who have replied with threats, little email goodies with nasty little surprises hidden within, and a half dozen middle of the night phone calls with not so pleasant overtones. Due to the large amount of viruses I have been recieving I believe for personal reasons and of course because the net seems to be more virus ridden then a $2 crack prostitiute I have been using Nortens Anti-Virus for the past 2 years (with the amount of viruses (viri?) I have caught makes me wonder what all my system caught before I installed it) But now I have friends and co-workers urging me to install some hacker protection because A: I am on comcast.net with a stable IP and nothing in the way of a "real" firewall to protect me, B: A friend hacked my system to show me how vulnerable I am C: I have just purchased a New Dell and have just started adding all my old programs and files to it. So for all of you in the "know" whats the best Hacker/virus protection software out there either in combo or singular form? BlackICE came to mind due to the fact i have seen in bantered about so much on this list and others, but I am indecisive. I went to CNET to read the reviews on some firewall/antivirus/anti-hacker software and everytime I saw one I thought was the one for me I'd read the negative reviews and back off. So any Help out there?Oh btw my new PC runs on XP if that helps.
