I will relay a piece of information that all who use the internet should know. All of us should have a personal firewall. To protect us and our computers. If you have ever been a part of a secure network, they tell in your briefing that of the 100% of internet users, 20% are using the internet, genealogy, shopping, etc... and the other 80% are watching the 20%. When I first got my firewall I noticed every time I accessed by brokerage accounts, medical accounts, and did any kind of shopping, my computer was being watched. I'm a construction manager and genealogist. I'm not selling software, but if you have a computer, you need a virus protection program and a personal firewall program. If you leave your keys in your car sooner or later will be stolen, same with anything else, including your identity. Dan H.
