Well here is my two cent's..lol. When it comes to firewalls and cable modems
I have to agree as it is a must!Although most of your security should be
focused to whoever is on the same isp as yourself.These are the hacks that
are hard to prevent.Atgaurd works well as a firewall but can be a task to
configure initialy but does not prevent local access.In my oppinion Black
ice is better for this not to mention the encryption capabilities.I have
found Good Passwords and Good encription has helped me sleap better at night
while i stay connected 24hrs.

Hope this helps!
