Best of all no hyperlinking . this is a "KILLER" program, i've had it for 3 months now. get the "Spam Killer" as well, it allows you to see the isp's and webmaster origination as well, it even lets you "complain" and send uglies back to them!

narcimund 0 #4 September 26, 2002 QuoteI got the whole enchilada . I have already found 20 attempts to access me in the last hour . Think about that for a second... if you were being hacked 20 times per hour, don't you think you would have noticed? The interesting thing about these "anti-hacker" and "anti-virus" programs is they puff themselves up by announcing an attack at the slightest provocation. Anti-hacker software is glad to call everything it sees an attack to make itself look important. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fasterfaller 0 #7 September 26, 2002 The firewall I paid for with my new computer was never installed by gateway . I was shocked to see how many programs had been downloaded without my permission . I had over 30 marketing companies watching everything I surfed . It's no wonder I've been bombarded with shit for the last five months . I have this one set to alert anytime someone trys to find personal data on me . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
