Scrolling Marquee

Hi. I just wanted to say that I just installed the firewall that is called ZoneAlarm. That should protect me from anyone that might try to connect to my computer through another file on the desktop or somewhere else in my computer without me knowing it.

Good stuff. Now make sure you're not using Internet Explorer. Visiting a site where you or your browser is tricked into downloading/executing something will get past the firewall. IE tends to have more security problems, as well as just being a bad browser by modern standards.

Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com), for example, is a better browser with fewer security issues; though there are others such as Opera.
