Visiting GRC to test your firewall is a good idea, too.

But have you ran an adware and spyware scanner?:)

I had no viruses according to Norton, but I had LOADS of spyware, adware, and scumware.

Ok an English reply for this one. Yes..I ran Ad ware with the latest build and upgrades and I am clean. Plus...if anyone here is using a proxy...disable Java because websites that require it can find your REAL IP (even if you are connected to an anonymous proxy). I am using a free program called Proxomitron. It's great. It protects my real IP with ANY proxy....blocks pop-ups, filters websites and with this anonymous proxy server that I am using I have no big difference in speed AND I am practically Invisible on the net. NOW this is what I call TOTAL PROTECTION.

BTW here's the link where you can see if your IP is viewable by others. http://www.stayinvisible.com/index.pl/test_your_ip_nocache

Personally it looked more like a joke than an intentional insult or anything.
SERIOUSLY...! | {The Sandvich Bar} - Rhino-FS2 Tutorial | CapShip Turret Upgrade | The Complete FS2 Ship List | System Background Package

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I believe that is so too. And I'll hold you to that. Bear in mind, however, that I did not just flame you. I merely thought it amusing that there was a link between 'Safety First', and then a little way across the screen, 'Razor'. Razors are sharp, hence they're used to raze stuff.

EDIT: Yeah, what Sandwich said :p

The only method to be secure on the internet is to know exactly how your system is working, what you're running, what ports are out, so on. In other words, be aware. Don't let yourself be caught ignorant. Simple. All this scanning and such won't help when you find that windows looks like swiss cheese to a nmap scan and you don't know how to fix it.

My 2 yen.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Product support team I am working in has Norman Internet Control / Virus Control as one of the supported products. Norman is one of the worst security softwares ever! I personally don't recommend this software to anyone, even free softwares are much better. Sygate or ZoneAlarm (fw) free versions and avast or AVG (a-v) free versions for example.

If you've got it running perfectly fine, consider yourself damn lucky.
