Rep Power: 2 | By the way that link is not working. I personally use zonealarm firewall for this issue, just to be on the safe side. Is there any other ways to find out or rectify whether we are vulnerable to such threats. Is those free firewall from zonealarm enough for a normal home user or need anything more? |
