Reputation: 315 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rep Power: 9 | For software firewalls I recently received a newsletter from Sunbelt software, whose CounterSpy I use, suggesting I buy their Kerio personal firewall 4. Given the PCMag review (dated 2005-09-28) it isn't bad at all, being best in test and beating both Zone Alarm and Sygate. At $15 it's not by any means prohibitively expensive either (if the free version doesn't fill my needs), so I might give it a test. Cheers Olle

AVG is alright with viruses, sucks with everything else, esp spyware and a small number of high-profile trojans. Comodo Internet Security (formerly Comodo Firewall) is pretty good but is extremely irritating with the number of popups. |
