Any comments on which is better?
I'm on ADSL so need some cover, and also want ICS to work on the host PC.
cheers,

I use sygate with ICS myself and think its great.. Had loads of problems with Zonealarm.
I'd recommend Sygate anyday.

I'm with Rob on this. I used to use ZoneAlarm, but I did have a few problems with it. Also found that it was very slow to load when the PC booted.
Totally recommend Sygate - one of the best on the market.

Chris, Rob,
How do you get the free Sygate to work with ICS? Even their web page says it won't work!

As far as I can remember I set up an advanced rule to allow all the ip addresses of my networked pc's pass through...
ie. 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.4

Tried Sygate, didn't like it. Tiny Personal Firewall is definetly the best. You do have to know what you are doing when you set up the rules though.

Sygate doesn't have as nice an interface as say - Zonealarm, but it is a very effective firewall. Chris have a look at Suba's link to see what I mean.
