-Caveat Lector- Samantha: Kleen-It download from www.overware.com whisks away weird stuff from MS, Juno, and such. It's free and appears to work well. Another goodie is Integrity Master from....(stiller.com if I recall correctly). Both are free although IM gets pushy after awhile. IM photographs your operating system files and everything else when you have your rig in perfect operating order -- whenever that may be. Nothing can get by Integrity Master. The hackers tweakers etc claim that we create our own worst security hole by checking the box which says Save Password. Passwords, I gather, should never be saved to disk unless they are encrypted. My backup computer has a clean install of WIN98 from the CD-ROM WIN98 and no protection of anykind whatsoever has been installed in that machine. It scoots about the web very fast and nothing ever goes wrong with it! This machine is bullet proof like a tank and just creeps about even though it uses a faster modem than the protection-less machine. I've had the same traces you report blocked by the firewall. I no longer believe that "security" exists, period. So why bother? It's all a hype. No doubt MIT is looking for nanoweapon secrets........I'm sure they'll find some!
