I couldn't find mention of this here, so thought I might see if wanyone
has heard of this one before:
http://www.cherubijntje.org/bartware/

It seems to be a very basic firewall, but does have the advantage of
being very small, for those who like their app.s Boomer-sized.

Tips: - Pause the service if you are running KaZaA (KaZaA is recommended
not to use)

I don't pause my firewall for *anything* when connected!

Well, that's why I don't do P2P at all - no P2P, no IRC. I try to
reduce the burden on my firewall.

I downloaded and ran this program. When I minimized the program's main
window I could not re-open it by clicking on it's system tray icon. The
icon does not respond to either double-clicking or right clicking (nor is
there any info when I mouse-over the icon.) I have to stop the program by
ctrl-alt-delete. [Windows 98se] A program you can't access by it's system
tray icon is lacking, especially for a firewall program. Maybe I'm missing
something...
It looks promising but a bit premature on it's release (?). Anyone else
have this problem (Boomer?).

thanks,

That does sound like a significant flaw. I will keep an eye on its
progress, but when it comes to my PC's security, AV, AT, F/W, I tend
not to get my solutions from acf. 8^)
 
ok then but next time you find a bug can you please mail
(e-mail address removed)?
I'll fix the bug as soon as possible (probably tomorrow) and ill add
1.3.7 to the site soon

Thank you for your quick follow-up. I was two steps from hunting down your
contact info. I am more than willing to share program feedback via email
in the future. Keep up your hard work.
