Tip of the Week

such as Tiny Software's Winroute and Network Ice's BlackICE,
for defending personal systems. These programs are great
for blocking a nosy neighbor's or a malicious intruder's

of defense. If you believe in a deep defense, you'll take
steps to secure an attacker's ultimate goal: access
to the file system.
