does XP SP2 firewall not bloch for ads an all that stuff??

XP SP2 adds a pop-up blocker to IE6 and the firewall is supposed to have more configuration options and be more LAN friendly. I haven't had a chance to do some testing with the firewall yet.

HI all,

I use the kerio firewall and find it more than adaquate. I use to use zone alarm pro and after thier last update I gave up on them.

Kerio seems to be working fine and I am very pleased with it. I guess everyone has thier idea of what is best and that is alright, whatever works and does a good job for you that is the one you should use.

But for me, it is Kerio all the way....

I've used Outpost till now, but after installation of SP2 it'll be removed from my system so I could free a little more of system resources ;)

Long time ZA Pro user until...

Stayed with 4x through the latest snafu. Migrated to Kerio... then Tiny, tried Sygate Pro (which does not fully support dual NIC's, as on my lappie) and for the last month have been running Outpost Pro. Now installing throughout the home (5 rigs).

Highly configurable, and I really like the logs (which are also highly configurable).

Norton (NIS04pro)

Norton or McAfee, high security and very friendly, however

McAfee doesn't want to update anymore :} .

and Sygate uses to much CPU.

I've tried almost every 3rd party firewall outside, my last favorite is Kaspersky Anti-Hacker. It eats system resources real less than any other plus has a good working IDS.
