Dennis, That was a very old version of BlackIce Defender you are referring to. I know exactly which version you are talking about as I had similar problems with it. However NetworkIce seems to be a pretty responsive company when it comes to complaints and I beta test their products for them. All of the dev/null stuff has been eliminated in the last few releases, including erroneous reports and extraneous information. You should try it now, I think you will be more impressed than the experiences you had with the older version. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Dayman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 11:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Security on a home DSL Line > Hmm..

It tends to report unnecessary information or attempts. It said things about TCP 80, it would report customers other windows boxes on the same home DSL line doing netbios, and sometimes depending on their mail client setup's would report them check their own E-Mail. --------------------------- Thanks Dennis Dayman Senior Consultant Consulting Services Group at MAPS http://www.mail-abuse.org [email protected] Voice/FAX 972-682-7556 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- What goes up, must come down.
