I could help. I mean, I could do a Google and find out where to
download firewalls, which is what I do when I want them myself.
It's just that it's a poor practice to use software that is sent
through Usenet by someone you probably have never met. This is
particularly true with regard to security software. If you want
any software to be trojan free, it is your firewall software. The
firewall is your most vital defense. It's more important than your
antivirus software.
