Computer Security

With the increased instances of viruses and computer attacks by penetrating our computers, I just installed a firewall and lo and behold someone from Italy was trying to get into my machine connected via regular dialup telephone connection. And the attempt was blocked by the firewall. Incidentally, the ISP I was using was the target of a denial of service attack which drowned the system and no traffic could be transmitted.

The moral of this story is that a virus program combined with a firewall is necessary for all machines especially Windows machines. A free firewall such as Zonealarm would be quite effective.
