Hehehe! As we'd say in my local newsgroup: "Check yuor settings!"

Too true.
But the best solution by far if you have a high speed cable or ADSL connection is to get hold of one of those Netgear or Dlink firewall/router boxes. Not only do you get peace of mind that works with ANY box connected to it (be it Windoze or Lunix), but you also get a hub and shared connect thrown into the bargain.

And it survives the grc.com test. Add an anonymous proxie for your browsing and you're as safe as you can get. Except for e-maul.
