[RTTY] Virus...

[Jim McDonald]

I've used Network BlackIce too with success, and it's required on laptops at
works.  However, I don't need it since I started using a router/hub.  I have
a couple of PCs sharing the internet connection, and the router has a
built-in hardware firewall.

About the same experience here.  I decided to block all of them
and see what didn't work.  So far, everything works.
