Microsoft Corp., Network Associates Inc. and other leading technology companies are promoting the Internet equivalent of a public health initiative: "Personal Firewall Day," to be held on Thursday, which will encourage Internet users to adopt firewall technology to protect themselves from online threats. The companies will unveil a Web site, http://www.personalfirewallday.org, on Thursday to educate consumers about the benefits of firewall and antivirus technology and provide tips on guarding against online identity thieves, viruses, worms and malicious hackers, according to information provided a spokesman for the project. | ||

I recently replaced my Linksys router (for a couple of reasons, not the least of is it died during a firmware update - not uncommon with Linksys).
Since I wanted small-business level hardware, I got the NetGear FVS-318. One of the nicest new features is I have it configured to email me a Security Log every 24 hours (with high-level security issues being emailed immediately). After seeing what this thing filters out, I'll never connect another computer directly to the net again! The Linksys blocked the same stuff, it just didn't have the reporting features to show me.
