Bobc Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Do any of the experts on here know whether the built-in firewall within the Wanadoo adsl modem/router which is made by Inventel (DW-B 200) is adequate for complete protection.On our old dial-up connection we had registered versions of AVG anti-virus and Kerio firewall.For our e-mail we use Mailwasher 4.1.7.6 and then MS Outlook.Regards,Bob Clarkehttp://perso.wanadoo.fr/grindoux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 You can't rely on a firewall alone, it can't stop a virus.Keep your AVG anti-virus and you should be OK.....Nickhttp://www.aplaceinfrance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianhaycox Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 You can check the effectiveness of your router/firewall by using Shields Up! from http://www.grc.com/ It runs a script to probe your PC and determines how vunerable it is.I use a software firewall and am very happy with http://www.zonealarm.com/ personal edition because I'm still waiting for ADSL.As well as re-installing and scaning with an AV package you may want to consider looking at http://www.lavasoft.de/ for their spyware checker.Ian http://www.brittany-holiday-gites.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
