Re: Re[2]: [OFFTOPIC] Zone Alarm

Have to agree , I personally use checkpoint small Office, but for a 
windows software solution I have to say Sygate is the best, 

Good and clear rules and logs, and blocking also never seen it lag any 
programs, plus more control over what comes in and out.

Last question: Hardware and software firewalls dont exist do they? or they 
all the same thing on different boxes? hehehe

Re[2]: [Full-Disclosure] [OFFTOPIC] Zone Alarm






Guys,

if you´re in need of a real good professional firewall for Windows 
systems,
you should take a good look at Sygate Personal Fw Pro 5

Forget silly stuff like ZoneAlarm or BlackICE...
