It is what the name implies, a tiny firewall application on your computer that allows you to specify what inbound and outbound traffic you want to allow. I have installed this cuz I noticed activity on my modem when not on a site or anything. It seems to work very well (in conjunction with my virus protection), but I was curious if anyone knew anything else about it or any potential limitations.
Anyone ever used Tiny Personal Firewall?

I got it here: http://www.tinysoftware.com/download.php
It is a a very small .exe and does not take long to download at all even on a dial up.
I just read the negative reviews on it, and do notice slightly slower speeds, but not as much as those folks said. You do need to be kind of a techie to run it right. I am going to check out zone alert too and see which I like best.

I am finding that, prospector. Major resource hog! I am on a dialup for now, and anticipate having a cable connection soon. My concern is that I am running Windows 2000 Advanced server so want to protect myself as much as possible. It is an old MSDN version, so I have not been able to update the service packs legitimately. I was concerned about being vunerable to that whole IIS attack. May even disable the inetinfo, WWW and IIS Admin to be sure.
you have a dial-up internet connection.
and advanced server?
what are you doing?
i'm sorry, i didn't realize you were running www.generalmotors.com

Are you making fun of me?
It is more for chits and giggles than anything. Since I am forced to have a dialup at the moment based on where I live, I have found that Advanced Server seems to provide the best speeds. Plus I like it.
