Hot Tip
Firewalls can be hacked if they are not configured properly.  Be certain that only IP addresses you want access to your PC are in the "Allowable Intruder" list.  Use login and password routines when sharing out folders (directories) on your workstation.  Read your firewall software logs often, especially if you are on dial-up or on a cable modem without a cable / DSL router.

Spy Ware:
There is a new demon on the horizon.  Actually the demon is in your backyard.  Actually it's in your home and it lurks about collecting information, personal information about you and your family. It's called spyware and it comes in the guise of a program, a cookie, a file in your Microsoft OS PC.  Don't be fooled in thinking a cable modem router, firewall and virus software protects your PC from intruders gathering information about your web surfing habits.
