Well here's what happened. Or at least what I was told over the phone. The XP login screen where you see all of the users and click on yours and put in your pw, usually had 3 names, herself, her brother, and her mom. A fourth login showed up that was stated as "An Internet User". Shortly after this, windows was no longer functioning.
yeah zone alarm will do the job, and if a router is running also set that up, you can never have enough protection.
If you use normal KaZaA or iMesh, you're a complete moron.Quote:

Listen to the man. KaZaA Lite's the way to go.
I use both Zone Alarm Pro and a router. At first I used ZAP alone and it did a great job. Now that I've added the router, there's been next to nothing for ZAP to report.
A great feature in ZAP is the internet lock which lets you instantly kill all traffic to/from your machine.
AdAware is truly essential. Don't download anything else until you have it. I also use Spybot Search & Destroy.
