I was under the impression that the scan would be done on one's own machine...in order to see what activity is going on in & out...so that way you could see if there was anyone 'crawling up your butt' so to speak...as far as the FBI is concerned, why the hell should I have to worry about detecting intrusion on my own PC? You're telling me that they might have a PROBLEM WITH THAT?? Also, when you speak of the MS stuff, are you referring to Firewalls? Does MS make a firewall...duh, I don't know...Heard of NPF, TPF & now Black Ice, but what are you referring to? And have you ever used TPF? Please bear with me, Clay...I'm not yet a Network admin, just a lowly tech who sets up classrooms w/ A+ & NET+ Certs...
