| Firewall Poll 2008
Thank you for your participation in this poll. Votes and comments posted in this, and other polls are referred to often throughout the year and provide assistance to others in the choice of Firewall, Anti-virus, Anti-trojan and Anti-spyware software.
Please refrain from "My firewall can beat up your firewall" type comments. They are not helpful nor do they accurately reflect the high calibre of people who frequent this forum.
Please be patient, polls for Anti-Trojan and Spyware software are coming.

1 edit | Re: Firewall Poll 2008 I use NIS 2007 because it works fine on my system. Pre-installed may change at a later date. For right now I am satisfied.
And yes thanks for the poll Owlbet.

| Behind a router and software firewall.
I have been using ZA free for around 10 years. Never had a problem of any kind. Recently I was given an opportunity to try Outpost Pro.
I am only into the 3rd day of testing and so far ZA is much better. It is very easy to see what programs want out. Also easy to set permissions. And of course Zonelog Analyser.
The reason I am trying Outpost is that they discontinued Tauscan. This was a very good trojan scanner with real time protection. The folks at Outpost made a mistake by discontinuing it. IMO
They have bundled the scanner into their firewall. So far I personally do not like the firewall. I will look for another good trojan scanner and go back to ZA free. | |

| Still using the a golden oldie! Kerio2.1.5
Light on resources compared to the newer softwares yet provides the control/configuration that i require so no need to change/update for the sake of it  | |

| I formerly used and liked Kerio 2.1.5 but removed it after a software conflict with PerfectDisk that can only be resolved by upgrading Kerio.

I tried Comodo, but didn't care for it. I am currently using just WinXP behind a router. It's good enough for the kind of surfing I do. | |
