Re: A Techy Question.
if you are behind a router then TBH your firewall is really only an outgoing block as your router will not forward requests unless you specifically tell it to.
as such you would know as ZA will be prompting as soon as it fires up that soemthing was trying to access the internet.
To make sure its in the first groups of reg keys involves using regedit. Its something that the basic user finds daunting but as long as you only edit stuff you are mean to you shouldn't have too much of an issue.
one other Q. Do you leave your router on 24-7? tbh if you only have teh one PC I'd turn it off when teh PC is off. I worked out that my router is in use from ~7pm till we go to bed. During teh day it was sat there doing nowt so now its turned off. Working on a basic 25W use over 16hours a day saving for 365 days = 150KW a year saving
