Hi Dom,
Here is one more optionâŠZoneAlarm - Firewall
:large_orange_diamond: <b>This version of ZoneAlarm is free for individuals and nonprofit organizations. </b>Dom go with Pixâs choice. Zone Arlarm is a LOT better. Try the SHIELDS UP at http://grc.com/. This guy is brilliant, and has done a LOT with regards to anti-hacking. Heâs done a comparrison of all the home firewalls and Zone Alarm came out tops, and Black Ice was the worst. I really wouldnât get on the net without a firewall.
Also! Look around on the net for a free Trojan remover ⊠or a 30 day trial version. This will scan your hard drive for the âbackdoorâ that this lass is getting access to your computer. This is VERY important!!!
Let us know how you get on.

REMBRANT: For security sake, take your phone number off this thread!! :eek:
I would also go with ZoneAlarm. Itâs free and quite effective.
Donât take my word for it, do some research, but if you have a dial up connection, your chances of being hacked are small, unless you have a dedicated line that is on all the time. If you have DSL or Cable, then you are more at risk. These âAlways Onâ connections make the IP address of your computer easier to find. I think most of these types of connections will assign you a new IP address everytime you connect, which is a good thing. But some give you a static one. Thats like saying âHey, Iâm right here and I will be here tomorrow, just in case you want some more time to get inâŠâ
So, yes, get ZoneAlarm. But if you have a dial up, donât worry too much.
I say again. Donât take my word for it. Do some researchâŠ
Good luck.
Kazâs point is a good one. If youâre on a dialup, your IP changes every time you connect to the internet. As a result, your chance of being hacked grows much smaller â in the real world, it would be like moving your house every day.
That does go out the window if you are a fan of instant messaging programs, or anything else that allows you to connect directly to someone elseâs machine (like a multiplayer game). When you do this, you open up a direct connection to your computer that stays steady for an extended period of time. It also broadcasts your IP to the world for those who are talented at misusing such things. So a dialup is not always safe, either.
Broadband âalways onâ connections like cable modem and DSL provide the greatest risk, for sure, just as Kaz said. The services that offer you a static IP are indeed the most vulnerable, but you would be surprised with the IPâs that arenât static. Although they do have to assign a new IP to you every time you turn your computer on, many of these systems will still try to assign you the IP that you had last. I have cable modem at home, and I actually went for almost six months with the same IP, and that was with turn the computer off all night, every night and also every day while I was at work. So non-static IPâs are almost as vulnerable as the static ones.
The bottom line is that if you have internet access, itâs wise to have both a firewall (Iâd recommend the one that Pixolator suggested, too), and antivirus software.
Even with a firewall software, youâre not going to be 100% invulnerable from hacker attacks. If your firewall is in the form of software, someone who is really good at being bad can break through it. Software, no matter how good it is, is still "soft"ware. If it can be written, then it can be rewritten. The best solution is a hardware firewall, in the form of a router. They are inexpensive these days, but they are very effective since thereâs no software code to sneak around or break. Someone may be able to hack into your router, but itâs kind of like getting into the foyer of a house only to find that all the interior doors are deadbolted from the other side. A hacker can find your homeâs IP, but it is the IP that the router is on. Your computer (or computers) operate on their own IP system that the router never allows to get to the outside world. The downside to this is that it makes a muck out of some or all of the features of certain messaging programs, and can create a real headache if you want to play a game online without going through Heat or the like. Youâll find that you canât host a game because you canât give out your IP address for the other players to connect to. You can establish the connection with them, but they canât with you. Netmeeting and other teleconferencing software enounters similar problems.
Depending on your needs, there can actually be such a thing as too much security! In truth, the router approach is probably overkill for most casual surfers. Precious few hackers are talented enough to get around a good firewall program, and unless youâve got some online âbuddiesâ who are into highly questionable internet activities (like piracy), itâs very very unlikely that anyone of sufficient skill to break a software firewall would ever want to bother you.
Well, thatâs probably way more than you wanted to know. LOL But I hope that it helps.
All that said, no-one can hack you through your email address, they can send you spam or a virus but they canât hack your system. If you start getting email from this person, you can block thier email and you wonât even see it. Just make sure you have a virus checker and donât open any email that has any executable attachments.
I have to second Digits motion.
We use Zone Alarm. (But we have cable and 2 static business class IP addresses) I give it 5 stars.
But running stealth on dial up is kinda redundant anyway, dial up is in itself a Bin Laden. (always different address)
AND
as digits said email is not a hack avenue. Itâs just not a big deal. block the email, get on with your life.
