I have used Zone Alarm before and didn't like it much. I've heard that Norton has problems with XP but I'm not sure which version or what the problem is. I used to us Sygate Personal Firewall with Win98 and found it excellant. I'm not sure if it's compatible with XP though.
I use Norton Personal firewall 2002 (or wot ever its properly called - i have a memory of a goldfish!!) and it works fine, no probs n no hackers either!
I used Norton Personal Firewall for a long time with no problems at all. It is easy to use and always showed good on all online security checks that I performed. I now have a router with a built in NAT firewall so I dont use it anymore.
just get the whole suite of norton progs for 2002...
the only problems you would have heard about norton with winXP would have been 2001 and earlier since the O/s is differnet than the previous verions...
the thing to remember is that 2002 is desgined to support XP to the max... please DO GET the suite.. its cheaper and you can use it for many different things... also the defrag program with norton systemworks is better than the XP version
I love norton quite a bit.. specially at the student prices at my unviersity...
well I guess if you put all them cds into ONE box, it'll be a variation of the systemworks suite ah well... so long as you have em all mate... thats all that reallly matters...
How about getting ALL the firewall available in the market. That way you'll be VERY SAFE unless the firewalls have conflict with each other and fail to start or your computer is not powerfull enough to load all those firewall during startup.
LOL
The best is to do a research all over the net. Compare!
Well I think Atguard is completely off, It doesnt pass the test on www.grc.com site, and I played around with it a couple of times, and it didn't really keep me safe.
I think right now the best firewalls out there are ZA and Norton. That's it!
They've been tested by alot of companies out there, and every sigle one of them recommended them.
I find ZA is nice cause it's pretty simple to use for the normal to expert user. But for noobz, well maybe norton would be better, ( Less questions and configs) and good allround security.
Check out www.cnet.com for ratings and see who comes out first. and why.
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
