Just a moment to go over some of your favourite firewall APPs, personally I prefer sygate as its vastly more secure than zone alarm and other free products.

anyone else using a firewall software which they think is above average.

Sygate...

I used to sue Kerio but Sygate is the best one for me right now

I currently use the Norton Internet Security firewall that comes with it. Is it as good as the other firewalls out there?

I havne't used it myself but I would say that it would be up to scratch with the others if not better

When I did use Norton Antivirus it was attacked and disabled by a virus... I reckon Norton is high on the hitlist of many viruses.

Zone Alarm and norton are both big targets of virus writers.

I prefer Sygate firewall and Kapersky Antivirus myself.
