[glb]Flame[/glb]binary1100....Re your firewall question .....the Router does a decent job of protecting you from incoming threats , however it does not do the job as far as anything outgoing is concerned .....a SOFTWARE firewall deals with that much better ......give Zone Alarm a try .....You MIGHT wish to visit this site and let them checkout your security ..... http://www.grc.com/default.htm .... scroll down and click on shields up and it will do a scan ........
Hope this helps
