Forgot to post my actual desktop....


Background is a pic a took on a ski trip to aspen.

Eww, ZoneAlarm...the most nub of all firewalls.

Well, I'm open to suggestions about another free one.

They're all free with the proper keygen.

I got ZoneAlarm...

What other freebies don'tcha like???

I got ZoneAlarm, AVG 7, Ad-Aware, Spybot, RegCleaner, CCleaner, A-Squared...

I think I've still got Bazooka on here as well...hmmm...

Linux is free...

A good hardware firewall > All

I've never tried Linux...what's it like???

If you've got a better suggestion that is both legal and free, I'll definitly give it a try.

Well here's one I already had.

Its like a more stable version of windows. Only without the software support. But you can emulate that. And alot of linux software is made with the GPL so... Really the new versions of linux are just like windows. Easy to use and self configuring. I don't really know how to explain it. But, if you have a second box I recomend downloading a flavor.

JR: Linux is free and legal...

It's not bad, kinda confusing for me at first..

I use a bootable linux version on CD when XP crashes.

Well, there's no sense in not using the built-in XP firewall, since it uses almost zero resources. If you insist on using another firewall, I'd use Agnitum Outpost or Look 'n Stop. Look 'n Stop is orgasmically secure if you learn its rule system, plus it's really lightweight. Both of those aren't free, but who cares, unless you're some uptight moral hiporcrit who was raised by a soccer mom and God.

As for anti-virus, I recomment F-Prot or Kaspersky. If your anti-virus installs a resident automatic scanner, disable it...they generally use too many resources and slow the system down. They also like to scan obscure files, like game data files, so load times in games are typically doubled. Use the on-demand scanner. The odds that you get a virus are slim to none anyway, as long as you don't download "lol kewl 3d calculator with nekked boobiez!" from your local AOL chat room.

As for spyware scanner, use whatever you want...it's generally not a problem as long as you use an alternative browser and aren't an idiot who downloads "TEH COOL NEXT GENERATION IM SMILEYS!!"

Well said Al.

Here's my new wallpaper. Made by yours truly. :cool:
