Firewall before log in
When I start up my computer, and before I log in, my sister can view my shared drives. Which gets me thinking, my firewall doesn't start up until after I log in, so I am sitting there unprotected. Anybody know how to make my firewall start up before I log in?

Send a message via MSN to doctorgonzo
In order for it to run before logon, it has to be a service. I don't know much about setting up apps to run as Windows services, but apparently this site has a utility that can do this.

If you are using a router, you are adequately protected.

Thanks guys... I found out that there is a service associated with ZoneAlarm called TrueVector that is automatically started and running. So I think everything is OK. Thanks again.
