[POLL] Firewalls - 2009 Member Choice

From Wikipedia:
A firewall is an integrated collection of security measures designed to prevent unauthorized electronic access to a networked computer system. It is also a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt, or proxy all computer traffic between different security domains based upon a set of rules and other criteria.

A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.

If you vote for Other, please do specify what you use and any links to said program.

***NOTE - There are 2 listings for Doorstop X and MAC Firewall, with links leading to different web pages for the same type of product. This listing is intentional for those wanting to research that product more. Further, it is also intentional as one may not not know of the 2 different sites for this Firewall***

The list below has been link verified and corrected as of 2/5/2009.

So with the above in mind, it is my pleasure to bring to you this years 2009 Firewall Poll.
