Several weeks ago, a scare swept through the Internet
community regarding alleged Internet "spying" being done by
a very popular advertising system known as "Aureate" (now renamed
to "Radiate".) Since the Aureate system is "carried"
into the user's PC by more than 400 popular freeware programs (like Go!Zilla,
GetRight, CuteFTP, and others), and is currently installed and running
in over TWENTY-TWO MILLION PC's!!, the threat that this software was "spying"
on its users was of great and immediate concern.
Download this free program from one of the top
Internet gurus, Steve Gibson.

Free Firewall protection software. I use this
on all my systems and have found that every day it protects my computer
from some internet site trying to upload items from my computer. Highly
recommended.
