Yeah, thanks everybody. Every once I in a while I let the fact that I
never seem to get hacked confuse me...
I never ran Virus software on my Home PC and I never got infected,
except once: working at Microsoft, I installed Win2K Pro at home and
VPN'd into CorpNet to put SP1 on it. I didn't get Nimda from the
Internet -- I got it from Microsoft's Corpnet!!!!
Everybody runs BlackIce because everybody's box at CorpNet gets
hundreds of Nimdas and Slammers per day. Ain't that funny?
But really, I'm not a dumb ass: I *never* got hacked at home. I'm not a
dummy, I know, I never got hit. So I ferget sometime...
Bijan's suggestion was good, I may try it...
