David Lawrence. Well it rejects everything until you let it depending upon how you—no I am telling you. It rejects everything unless you explicitly let it allow the data to flow through. So what you will do is you will put like a ZoneAlarm or any other personal Firewall that would be software on your PC.

You put it in verbose mode, which basically means give me all the indication that you are doing something. And what happens is when an application is launched that uses the Internet or attempts to use a port to get data in and out of your machine it will popup and it will say okay Norton antivirus or Panda True Prevent is attempting to open port such and such for data in and out. Do you want to allow this and the moment you say yes then that trains it as you put it that trains it to allow that particular application to use that particular port.

There are somethings already built in like you know Internet Explorer and various browsers those are pre-programmed to allow web traffic HTTP traffic but some programs it isn’t trained to do out of the shoot. And those are the ones who it will pop up.

Keith: That means you have to always kind of keep track of about you know what you are doing on a computer, is that alright sir?

David Lawrence: Only the first time.

Keith: I mean do you allow entry or you deny it.

David Lawrence: Well that all, they have not happened pretty much within the first day you use the software because the moment you are using your regular software suite, whatever that suite is, those things will start popping up pretty fast. And you will let what you want to have happen, happen and you stop what you don’t want to have happen, happen at that point.

And all that happens fairly quickly. Now the ones you want to watch for are the ones where you don’t know and the way to air on the side of safety is to say no, no to what the program wants.

Keith: Always deny.

David Lawrence: And then go on the web and search it under Google and see if it’s something that is a piece of Malware or piece of Adware or something that’s pretty obvious but they have just had the “exe” as opposed to like for example you will see “oe.exe” that’s outlook express or “ie.exe”, “explorer.exe.” Some of them aren’t fully named out and you will find that out fairly quickly. But that’s the case so another instant message just and that gives me another open line if you want to jump in 1800-39 online, 1800-3966-546.

Instant message from Rose Forgnone, have you any info about the news I heard that AOL is discontinuing DSL services. Is it true? I am an AOL user for many years here. I cannot believe this is true. It seems like a step backwards instead of forward.

No it’s true and it’s not just DSL, its cable and it’s satellite. AOL is slowly backing out of the broadband space and the reason is, is that they have been charging $50 some odd dollars for a couple of years now for either one of their broadband flavors. But upstarts like DSL extreme and the phone companies that they buy their lines from have been offering DSL and Cable in the $20 to $25 to $30 range and they are cutting them on a fairly regular basis. So AOL is making the decision and you are absolutely right, AOL is making the decision to get out of the broadband sector and they told their users in the south, they use BellSouth that they have to find a new provider by the end of the year or they will revert to Dial-up. Back in a moment.
