Hi,
Just a heads up, to those, like me who use sygate personal firewall - Symantec have decided to discontinue it AND the forums from 30th Nov.
Alos as the free Kerio is soon to be no more, the options are reducing. More info here.
I don't like ZoneAlarm, and I don't know too much about any of the other free firewalls - anyone have any suggestions?
Regards,
White

As far as I am aware it doesnt have updates as its quite a rigid
program, It just does the same thing with no variables.0 -

When Checkpoint bought Zonealarm, I thought the free version of Zonealarm would disappear too.
I had just downloaded Sygate to evaluate in case Zonealarm became a chargeable piece of software - ho hum.Wealthsaving - a way of life?0 -
