Question About DSL Security

by themoth02 Nov 17, 2005 12:55PM PST

Hi Folks;
I;m new to DSL and have a Security question maybe one of you can help me out with.I have SBC/Yahoo DSL and am currently using AVG Free and ZA free.
I got a notice on my sbc home page that sbc/yahoo DSL is offering their own security protection with AV and Firewall.From what I read it is EZ Trust from CA.
The Question I have is am I better off with my current security configuration or will this CA EZ Trust give me more protection?
I am using Win 98se
192mb Ram
Thanks in advance and I do enjoy reading the forums here they are very informative.

Frankly with DOS based Windows...

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Nov 17, 2005 8:30PM PST

I'd like someone to show me the exploit if I hook Windows 98se with a stock install, one Windows update, no shares.

Firewalls on this old OS seem redundant and if someone can't show me the exploit (web link please) then why do this?
