On top of all the malware, virus, and nasty things that can infiltrate your computer if you let your guard down, a good firewall is a must have defense. Do you have any holes that the bad guys can bore through ? Here is a site some of us have visited before, but it's best to check every month to make sure you don't' have weak areas that can make you susceptible to infection, along with running all your anti-malware programs. https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 Click on proceed and then check all sevice ports, it should be all green. You can also check other vulnerabilities on the site. How did you do ? as an example, I have attached a copy of my port results. |

:happy: Excellent Wild Bill, I figure at the very least once a year we better see how we are doing against those who compete negatively against us honest folks. One of these days I'm going to reply to Mr. Ungabu from Nigeria (he emails me almost every day via spam) and set up a meeting to have coffee with him, he can buy. :cheerleader:

I'm using the Mac just now. The site didn't show any colors at all. No grid like you have in your jpg image either. I guess it doesn't work with Macs. |
