Only thing I didn't like is that (at least at that time) BID protected against incoming traffic only. If someone snuck a trojan into your system (like a dialer program), that program had free reign once it kicked off. TPFW, Zone Alarm, and others also protect against outgoing traffic.
One thing I forgot to mention: set your browser to prompt you any time there's a file that wants to be downloaded. That way, you can know if someone's trying to sneak something in. If you let it come in anyway... not much more the poor computer can do, can it?

Hmm, I didn't know that. Mine is a newer program, about 2 yrs old and I updated it last year but I saw recently there's a newer version of Black Ice out now. I'm going to have to find my serial number and upgrade again after I get my pc all upgraded, which is a piece by piece kind of project for me. I wonder if BID got that problem fixed?
Nacht loves Zone Alarm. If he sees this, he might have some idea what you are having the problem with, Harkoliar. Maybe you can get some help from Zone Alarm's site? Do they have an FAQ?
