Thanks everyone for tuning in!
The issues Mike describes seem to be firewall irrelevant. Looks like most people won't need a firewall after all, but instead need to forbid themselves any access to the Internet whatsoever...<g>. Sam, you mention seven seconds to plant a Trojan on my sample machine when the intruder knows my system and my open ports? Now I really start to get worried: Does this work with any open ports? What about my web cam software at home, which enables me to watch my house when I am away on holidays? If it's all sooooo easy, why doesn't Microsoft worry about huge legal suits selling such insecure Operating Systems. Every car manufacturer would be sued to bankruptcy, if he tried to sell an insecure car. Isn't the Internet access a full part of Microsoft Windows? I really start to wonder... Have a safe and secure weekend everyone!
