How about Sygate?

Would definately recommend sygate

Yeah, AFAIK Sygate has been discontinued for a while now but it works really well

u suck.com · 19th Nov 2006, 12:43 PM

discontinued? do they still provide updates and stuff?

hyper_raider · 19th Nov 2006, 01:00 PM

THere are no virus definitions so why want updates?

Another option is to have a hardware firewall

Yeah, Sygate rox0r! No problems at all especially with file-sharing which I had tons of problem with Zone Alarm.

Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall works fine for me.
It's free with some features unavailable, and it's cheap to get it all.

It's very easy to configure and warns not only about traffic to and from the computer, but also when one application tries to run another.
