16726 2001-08-09 03:41:00 at the momement I am running a firwall called zone alarm my son picked up a virus ie w32sircam worm,I noticed when I tried to load up my computer that a program wanted to have acces to the net I declined accses to this program which stoped it from sending the virus to other people on my mailing list which also gave me time to find the removal tool at Symantec ,if were not for zone alarm I would have some very upset friends and a biger problem to solve Guest (0)
