ICQ 25485061
The only problems I've had with it is (i) I'm now paranoid :-> (ii) GPL
seems to lockup when it's loaded, requiring a reboot.

I'm using AtGuard as a firewall, which is now part of Norton Security 2000.
Once set up right (basically I gave it a list of "trusted" applications) it
doesn't interfere with anything I do online.
This person should also get a good virus scanner to check for and eliminate
backdoor programs, if any, on her PC.
