    Go buy and return PC-Cillin :up:

    McAfee's alright but not perfect (it's like Norton and grinds installs etc to a crawl... :( ), AVG's good for a free virus scanner, and F-Secure is supposed to be good but never tried it.

    Is there an alternative to sygate? I tried to install it on my computer and it screwed it properly. I lost my graphics drivers and couldnt reinstall them until I had got rid of sygate.

    Also, everytime my computer had finished booting up it restarted :spangled:

    Is there an alternative that isnt norton?

    Not one mention of Zone Alarm?

    Easy to use, stealths all ports, does the trick I find!

    And it's free!

    Oh and just to point out, don't use the built in firewall in SP2.

    Microsoft, in all their wisdom, failed to make the firewall block OUTGOING programs :lol:

    I've never heard of Sygate doing that?! Sure you didn't have a virus/trojan that really wanted to be connected to the Net?

    Zone Alarm - :down: (Unless you buy the Pro version)

    Tiny Personal Firewall - :up: isn't too bad at all (poss the only thing from Tiny that works properly ;) :lol: )

    @ *Spinner*6*Sparki* - don't buy Norton!

    Google for Trend Housecall - it's online and free.

    Norton uses too much system resources and installs itself everywhere - it's like AOL. it's ok for nuggets and people who have never seen a PC b4.
