deepu 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2004 I too use ZoneAlarm. I do not think that it reduces the net speed.... It works perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anujit 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2004 You guys should try Sygate Personnal Firewall. My experience with Zone Alarm wasn't very good. Especially in a networked environment! It throws up too many messages and requires too much fiddling to work well! Sygate has given be me the best out-of-the-box experience... even better that NIS!

rEdshiFt 1 Report post Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) ganesh....i read a lotta not_so_good_things about the sp2 built_in firewall... pls do consider a seperate Firewall... check out this utility called "leaktest"....tell s u how effective ur firewall is.... Leak Test ...its sorta like that "Eicar test" for AV appz... LOOKS LIKE I CANNOT ATTACH .EXE FILES(GOOD SAFETY PRECAUTION)....i have tried to attach it as a .jpg...."save link as", change the extension back to .exe and run it...hopefully it works Edited November 1, 2004 by rEdshiFt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
