[AccessD] OT: Firewall

Rocky,

I've used Computer Associates EZ Armor (virus + firewall) for about three
years.  Very transparent, no technical problems, and apparently effective
because my weekly sweeps for viruses and spyware result in no or only
low-threat findings.

Can't compare to others since I haven't used them.

BOL (Best of Luck)!
Dan

Subject: [AccessD] OT: Firewall

I\'m having a huge problem getting Zone Alarm on one of our computers   I've
used it for years with no problem, upgraded this one box from Version 3 to
the latest, it blocks internet access and give a page full of instructions
on how to solve the problem - none of which work.  

Uninstalled, reinstalled,  cleaned registry per their instructions, renamed
the internet log, blah, blah.

At the moment the machine is behind the router firewall (like all of them)
so I don't know if I should be too concerned but I've always run a firewall
on each machine in addition to the hardware firewall in the Linksys.

I'm not wedded to Zone Alarm and I'm looking at Sygate's product ( another
free one : http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm) .  Anyone know
about this?  Any other recommendations for a personal firewall?

Thanks and regards,

Rocky
