Default A Check Site

As many of you have probably seen, I've posted here about getting my firewall hammered and my firewall is doing it's job. Just annoying when you have a slow dial-up connection (45.3) and getting pinged all the time slows things up.

A site that I have always liked as there is a ton of information there is this GRC | Gibson Research Corporation Home Page

I hope that the Security crew here looks into it and says it's ok.

I have been using this place for years now. It shows one a lot of things... just take the time to read and understand what you are reading.

Hope this helps someone!

Sure, the site is OK. Steve Gibson is pretty well-known.
