Hi,
Just a question for you in the "know." Why do I not see many posts recommending Zone Alarm as a good firewall. I am an occasional visitor to afc, try to visit as often as possible. I see Kerio and Sygate mentioned a great deal. I currently use ZL and have had no difficulty with it. Is there something I don't know...besides just about everything?

TIA,
Stan

In my case, (I use ME) it's a resource (ZA is a hog) and
configurability (ZA has a dummied down UI) issue.

Kerio (2.1.5) is what I'm using now.

Latest version of ZA is affecting some/all(?) newsreaders ability to decode
yEnc. A pretty significant bug for us binary grabbers and which many feel
should have been spotted prior to release.

ZA is non configurable and resource hungry.

I have seen it described in the FW group as 'the AOL of firewalls'
:-)
