| hopped up and took over my desk as the phone also rang lol... then the cat shut my browser lying on the mouse. Anyways zone alarm pro hasn't given me any problems but the newer version of the basic has and is buggy. Here are some firewalls I've found on tucows.(thease are freeware) I see though that someone also mentioned @Guard (which also later became part of norton utilities/firewall) and it is very good... I actually used that before zone alarm.
Tiny Personal Firewall(rank: 5 cows)
Sygate Personal Firewall(rank: 5 cows)
full tucows list(includes shareware and demo)
Info on AtGuard(ratings of things and where to get it) |
