I just used the "Shields UP!! firewall tester from GRC to check my ZA Pro settings. The results of the test are encouraging. I may have some other anomalies, particularly with browser defects, but at least my shields are up! :)TruStealth Analysis [PASSED]
Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice.
