A shitty firewall > no firewall at all!
A firewall does absolutely nothing for you unless you're after a specific objective in setting it up. It's a false sense of security, otherwise. Keep in mind the newest set of Windows trojans run as device drivers, and so Zonealarm does absolutely nothing to protect you from them since it can't firewall off device drivers.
There's nothing an outside attacker can do that would make your system hit the hard drive in any noticable amount. If there was a such a thing, it could easily be used as a Denial of Service attack, and those are fixed almost as quickly as more severe bugs are.

Drysart I've been meaning to ask you whos that guy in your signature? (not legolas, the guy with the hat)
Alucard. From Hellsing.

How'd Arkard come to be?
Alucard is Dracula backwards...
Arucard is because Japanese people have difficultly with l (or something to that effect)
But Arkard?
At random bits (Usually ten minutes after maximising a window) the screen will flicker in bands, but only for a billionth of a second, so I notice it, but can't make out any problem.
Either it's the REALLY old monitor I have refreshing itself, or it's an EVIL VIRUS COME TO TAKE MY ABILITY TO HAVE CHILDREN!
Either way, I'd like to know what it is.
Never happens in a game, only on desktop/IE.

Have that problem myself, actually. For a little bit at random times my screen starts flickering. Happens for longer, and no discernable pattern... but I have an old-ass monitor as well. Hm.

Way back when, when I had norton antivirus installed on this computer, it told me to enter a message if it ever found a virus.
I put in, and I quote: "HOLY FUCKIN SHIT U HAVE A VIRUS RUN AWAY WHILE U STILL CAN!!!!!!"
Ah, memories...

It is Alucard. The Alucard. Dracula. Evidenced by the fact that he impales Incognito in the manner of, and also appears as, Vlad the Impaler. The whole mythology of Hellsing is based on Western fiction over the past 200 years, primarily Lovecraft, and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Sir Integra, in fact, is the great granddaughter of Abraham Van Helsing, a character from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
"Arkard" does not fit into this anywhere.
And that makes his face match up exactly with a famous painting of Vlad Tepes. [ 03-28-2003: Message edited by: MorbId ]
