Not being an expert in PC security like you, I am limited in my choices and abilities to protect my computer. I will do those things that offer the best in value, usability, and effort. I suppose if you wanted to drop a trojan horse in my computer you could do so with minimal effort but I will put up some resistance.
Now if you want to talk about electronics and aircraft simulation then maybe I can teach you something...
OK, and then why are you trying to run a host-based packet filter without a clue about networking and TCP/IP? How do you think you could achieve any security with such prerequisities? Technology is not a panacea, and we're some hundred years away from intelligent software.
And why aren't you paying attention to much more trivial and fundamental security measures?
Are you trying to associate the PFW with that "resistance"?
And with real security measures in place, such a thing wouldn't even become possible in first place.
There are easy ways for you to prevent from that. This is much better than trying to detect when it's too late.
Don't use Internet Explorer. Shutdown your network services (as explained here i.e.:
Very interesting, indeed ;-) What are you working on? Maybe there is a better group for that? Could you recommend one?

Wow. I have watched this thread for a while now. Impressive, really. One person can be so sure in himself, and so "secure" in his belief that HIS system is the most secure, and his advice should be followed. Yet, while going through the posts, I have yet to see any suggestions, or even helpful advice from ANY of your posts. At least the OP is asking for advice. He/ she is doing so to aid in a proper decision. OP is showing critical thinking. I must say, just that alone is far more than you are showing us. I normally would steer clear of this, but I must admit, you do sound an awful lot like the poster "Mr. Arnold" who has since seen the ugly side of my killfile- a place where you will permanently reside. Where I work, we have an entire sub department like this. We refer to them as the "Trolls" or "Furry-teeths". We keep them locked in the server dungeon while we deal with the real work, and only let them out at night to check cables, and eat dust bunnies. They like to think that they are important being in the dungeon, and are there as the "Tier 3" support and security specialists because they are omnipotent, but the real reason we put them there is because the sight of them causes fear in small children and their body odour is enough to gag a maggot in a meat wagon. A bunch of people who have too much education and book smarts, coupled with a crippling case of small penis syndrome. They like to think they are the most secure department, but really... its because we cut their cables. I have no doubt in my mind that you possess a great deal of knowledge when it comes to security. However, I have to ask- can you apply it to the real world? And can you do what any person in the position of possessing such knowledge should (and most would) do? Help others? I have my doubts.
kerrrrr-PLONK!

You noticed that similarity as well, huh? And to think, Duane Arnold almost had me believing differently ;-).
Cheers, and Happy New Year.

What's wrong with this fool?
I don't believe this. This goody two shows *clown* is running around in the NG, playing the goofy two shoes Lone Ranger. All he is really doing is stabbing people in the back, trying to put himself above everyone.
Old Sir William is no better than anyone else and he is far from being a perfect Human Being, as much as he wants people to think that he is righteous and perfect.
This so called man and I use the word *man* loosely for him is really pitiful.

Did I miss where Sebastian listed all those real security measures?? Or, as usual, he just hinted that he knows the answer but he's not telling? More of his usual boasting of 'If you just knew as much as I know' ?

For Sir Righteous EL Capitan William to be running around passing judgment on others, yes, that makes him an idiot.
Wow, you're just running your mouth and you're trying to pass judgment on others. You're no better than he is when it comes right down to it.
What are you showing here, other than, some whining?
You should have steered clear, as you're no one to be passing judgment on anyone.
Where do you work, NeverLand?
I think you need to lock yourself up for making this post.
You're in charge of what? How righteous?
What does this have to do with anything, other than, you got some kind of problem yourself?
Really? Maybe, they cut the cables to get away from you. Did you think about that?
Where is the real world? I doubt that you can find it.
I don't see you giving any help here yourself, other than, the running of your mouth with whining and back stabbing, righteous one.
You're not worth putting into any KF.
I'll just give you a , that's soft logical .

You can run but you can't hide Sir Righteous El Capitan William. You don't start no sh*t and there will be no sh*t. I can't make it any plainer than that Capitan.

Hell, he won't know anyway, as he's plonking.
Some more of your halfass opinioned diagnoses William. Have you told everyone in these groups you are a qualified Psychologist, "YET"?
Don't be shy impress them with your word "symantecs" *LOL* (i.e. semantics)
4QHey Wheaties, you got anything else you want to bitch and whine about?

Other than the fact that you weren't hit in the head with a shovel at birth, nope, can't think of anything.
Yeah, yeah, dear, you can go change your draws, smell them draws first like you sniff other people, and blow a righteous kiss to the crowd.
I see you're no better than anyone else, with a weak game and you stink, trying to pass judgment on someone.
Well, well, let the truth be told about Sir Righteous El Capitan William, a pussy plonk and runner, trying to pass his rightous judgment out here on the Internet. I think El Capitan needs to practice getting a life.
