 without the expense of proprietary software. The Snort Package includes alert monitoring,
 blocked hosts monitoring, whitelists, rule editing/selecting, and auto rule downloads from multiple sources.

 * Why should I care about my Network Security
 Corporate network attacks have a 50% success rate. 
 More than 25% of Home PC's are infected with some spyware.
