Well then I guess this all would be true:

Windows Firewall (SP1 and SP2) = Mini cooper

Norton or Zone Alarm Firewall = Tank

Sygate or Kero or Outpost = Fighter jet equipped with 100 missiles

I've never heard of Sygate, Kero or Outpost, but I must say that a fighter jet with 100 missiles wouldn't e able to take off, it would be chug chug chug BOOM! :P Too heavy.

Oh it'd take off alright. These missiles aren't the normal missiles. They are specially light weighted and made to do heavy damage. They have fluorine and francium in two seperate containers. When they mix, even the smallest amount will create huge explosion ;).

As for not knowing them, I suggest taking a look at them. They really are the ultimate of firewalls.

I used Sygate, and it is a little like Norton but 100x more efficient, less on resources and more secure.

For Outpost, I'm using that right now. It's a really customisable firewall. It is simple stunning with what you can do with it. It also takes plugins. Takes time to learn, but well worth the effort.

As for Kerio I haven't tried. I hear a lot of things about it being like Outpost. If people compare it with Outpost, it has to be good.

    Blade, thats very Dissapointing you havent heard of those  nearly every1 else has

    iv'e used Norton Personal Firewall  2003, it wasnt to bad though i had to uninstall it due to a problem i had with it which i cannot remember what it was now, but it was something that was blocking me from doing something,. i'd recommend NPF or Windows Firewall. but if you want something better, use a Hardware Firewall :)
