I know some of you are super computer savvy and others maybe not so much.....I fall somewhere in the middle depending on my state of mind. Â
I've been using a Beta version of ZoneAlarm's new "Forcefield". So far, it's pretty cool. Let's me be even lazier than I am now..
I'm not promoting or selling- not my gig - just sharing Â
I've used the ZoneAlarm Pro on my kids computers for years now......if you've never tried it, you might want to give it a try, they still have a free version I think.

They have an Anti-Virus, I don't use it. The ZoneAlarm Pro is a software firewall with anti-spyware. You can lock down the computer at various levels. This new thing shields your IP address, supposedly prevents hacking and has a "private Browser" feature that basically looks like the IE version with all the security settings set to high and no cookies or history saved.
I haven't tested for more than a couple of hours, but I will check it out tonight.
