how-to block ads |
No. Why? It doesn't save you any money. If you concerned about security, though, and don't mind shutting your computer down, it may be prudent. One of the many windows security products called ZoneAlarm is also neat ... ZoneAlarm offers a button; click this when you leave your computer, and it freezes network traffic, unclick when you get back to continue. No, you will not "damage" the modem/connection/etc. Simply turning it off by the power button is just like turning off a tv or computer. No serious harm will be done,but I don't think a modem will take up much power... Mines only take in 12vdc as it says on the label on modem. Most firewalls (not only Zone Alarm) offer a button or a menu from the system tray to block all network traffic. McAfee calls it lockdown. Windows Firewall has a checkbox to block all incoming traffic. However, if you block all network traffic, you won't get Windows updates, or updates to your anti-virus. 2009-04-02 12:01:03 Also read About DSL for lots more information | ||||
