I think the recent post about hacking attempts should be heeded. Everyone
get a firewall installed!
Recently in SF and on a dialup to Earthlink and my firewall repelled 4
separate attempts at access. This was not even my home DSL service which is
always on!
Apple users should also turn file sharing off in the control strip and
consider using the multiple users function in the apple menu to password
protect their computer.
If you don't have the firewall you don't know what is going on while you are
on-line. I know this all sound simple, but we don't do it until..
Earthlink was giving the norton firewall away free to its subscribers.
