Thanks for the info Angela! I don't know what we have then, if anything. I will check out ZoneAlarm.

Our IT tech at work is all for CA products -he just recently went for training to be able to use/sell their software for his clients. He recommended it to me and uses it for all his customers. He is a genius when it comes to the pc's - so If he uses them to protect the networks of big $$ companies, then its good enough to use at home for me! lol
