They seemed to be proud of that huge vulnerability. It was at that point I knew I would never recommend it to anyone. I think they could not fix the hole without a total rewrite and there again...very scary thing for a firewall to have been designed in such a way that it would have such a glaring problem.

Touché. ;)

Avira has had a firewall in the Suite for quite some time but it has been not very good. It's being improved considerably currently but it is not going to be great, as far as I can see, even in version 8 which due out in April. But it is a decent, rules based 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19820811 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:43:00 EDT Re: Firewall Poll 2008 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19820716 Allnew : NIS 2007 on my main comp.
