BlackICE personal firewall as sold by the computer store for $5 Should I recommend it to my faculty users? Rating? 1) Better than nothing 2) More trouble than it is worth 3) If you're going to pay, buy something worthwhile like Zone Alarm Is the firewall in XP as good as the one in BlackIce for nonserver purposes? Other thoughts?
