instronics,

Thanks for the info. I admit I am no firewall jedi and had relied on the suggestions from the book 'Desktop Witness" which I don't have my copy here so I don't know the author. Unless I read it incorrectly (and in that case I don't deserve to have a computer!), it said that it was possible to run more than one firewall.

The book, which covers almost every aspect of securing information on a PC and I found to be excellent, describes extreme measures that can be taken when you have very valuable information (i.e. human rights workers in a totalitarian regieme) but suggests each person takes their own situation into account and only uses the level necessary. I personally don't have a need for such extreme protection but have been experimenting with some of them out of curiosity. I am therefore interested to hear if it is recommended against running more than one firewall?

I have taken some time to configure each firewall to my needs, although I must admit that I have not regularly reviewed VisNetic. What are peoples thought?

Thanks
