[dba-Tech] Software Firewalls

I'm using ZA Pro 5.5, (touch wood) I've never had a problem with it... Well,
except when they wouldn't let me isntall because McAfee was running, but
they fixed that in two days.

Still happy here with ZA Pro - 4.5
I guess you are/were using a more recent version, like 5.5?

I've been putting off 'upgrading' ...
