saugatak Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Would had voted for Sygate if it wasn't for Symantec taking it other.That's why I use the last version before it was taken over. v5.5. Hasn't failed me yet. Except for that time the Ms. clicked Yes on something while I was in the bathroom. Latest version I believe was 5.6.2808.0 which I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin2040 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Do you really need a firewall if you are behind a router?Depends on how paranoid you are. I always recommend one regardless of the router, because of forwarded ports or *shudders* UPnP.Not as much a paranoia , having a software firewall (besides hardware) eliminates potential threats and applications an administrator does not want accessing the net. Hardware firewalls can only block by a series of ports , where as a software firewall blocks on a physical level. For a normal home user a simple firewall will do , and will prevent a significant amount of malicious threats , that some hardware firewalls do not detect.cough...Im pretty sure that Cisco PIXes are capable of application level filtering, as well as being a stateful layer 3 firewall...some hardware firewalls specialize in IDS and have signature databases (pretty sure PIX does this too, but maybe not the lower end models)....I wouldnt brush off the security offered by a REAL hardware firewall. Theres a reason PIXes are used in big businesses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
