For me I use Norton Personal Firewall. It's good lol. It has a thing that restricts private info. Also protects against computers withina network and allows you to allow access. It integrates with Norton Anti-Virus which I also have Also has good logs and ask you what you want to permit internet access to (You can switch this off)

2003 though must get 2004

pfff... Sygate Personal Firewall. I've had no problems with it.

I use Sygate Personal Firewall beside Norton Antivirus 2003.  Nothing gets through it.  Probably also helps that I almost always use Firefox, too.

The link to the Unibased site seemed to still be advertising Outpost firewall, though.

Please note the dripping sarcasm in my post about an "unbiased" site .

ZoneAlarm is flawed.  You will be open to attacks with it.

I didn't want to make a whole new thread about this so sorry for bringing this back up.

I've read in various places that the latest ZA firewall is full of bugs and stuff and have come to the conclusion that i need to change it. Now, the first option that came to my mind was to use norton, but i read somewhere that it uses too much memory and norton AV already slows me down a lot.... so basically i want to change both my antivirus and firewall.... so Norton Internet Security (would do the job but slowly) or something else? (I would like one program that i install and would take care of everything....)

McAffee or whatever it's called does a similar package.

How so? nothings got through ZoneLabs Security Suite as of yet. No packets, no viruses, nothing.

Well i've read LOTS of articles about how ZoneAlarm 5 is full of bugs and potential securtiy threats or whatever...

Is McAfee reasonable in terms of memory usage?

mcafee is like norton, they try to make a decent firewall, but they've got as many security flaws as zonealarm, if not even more =/

i've had NPF for years... and trust me, it didn't stop apps from accessing the internet
