b0llocks!

Sygate has been one of the best around apart from when i Installed the updated symantec 5.6 pro version by mistake and it completly messed up my system for nearly 2 days?

Whats this Kerio like?

I used to like zonealarm but its become far to "bloated" like so many pc apps, and why does everything you install now days add its self to start up AND the system tray! It drives me mental!

Is there actually anything wrong with XP's default firewall - for users that don't want to know when they are being scanned by a zombie machine every 20 minutes.

I agree that kerio is excellent, but you will have to be quick as they are discontinuing it at the end of December

Seems like Symantec are trying to take over the software application World, and look like succeeding
