Hi Mike6688 :
The only thing you should use provided by an ISP is to
connect to the net; more & more ISPs are "offering"
additional "services", such as antivirus, antispyware, even
firewall(s) , that they buy from someone else, to attract
more customers and/or not lose the ones they have.
As to firewalls, we usually recommend Zone Alarm, Kerio,
& even the abandoned Sygate, in this forum . As to
"netveda", you would be wise to use this forum's "search"
feature to find threads on this .
