i didnt try sygate before.so i cannot compare with it.

i got no problem till now after using pc tools firewall

use OUTPOST few days
but still having problem with the setting
allowing " cFosSpeed " to connect to inernet
got fed up , get rid of it , now one zone alarm free edition
still having the " vector problem "
i realise the " vector problem " only appear during i leave my laptop torrenting only

yeap...do note, outpost is good, but need to set it properly...it's not user friendly like ZA do...anyway, i'm on ZoneAlarm Security Suite 15 Days trial...want see if there's any good of it... so far so good...

decided to go for pc tools firewall instead after reading all the posts, find it a little bit prob with my pc, but after formatting my pc and reinstalled it, find it no problem and easy setup...

*ahem*
How should I put it...
I used a virtual "time stopper" or a date locker so to call it... And it doesn't work on outpost... I didn't try to disable the real time protection tho'''

Gonna try it now.

And I'm DL-ing PC Tools Firewall... Will report back if I decided to try that.

bro do u got any prob with the pc tools firewall in connecting to messenger? I find out that my Yahoo messenger is so hard to get through, is it because of the software or my connection?

until now,still got no problem.my pc also sometimes hard to connect messenger.but i think its connection problem.not the firewall

I am not surprise it didn't work. This guys in the Security Field have more ideas than any of us would. LOL. The idea of using dates to activate/deactivate programs has been a long expired idea. It is no wonder that our "amateur" methods of "playing around" it has been long patched.

I've tried various methods personally. And only one would work... Reformat the computer. Another method is to use InstallSpy or something of that sort. It will monitor ALL changes done to the computer after and installation. Then, either you Brute-Force Crack the code in the Registry, OR You Reverse-Engineer the Program. (NOW, THIS IS ILLEGAL IN MOST TIMES. I AM JUST CITING IT AS A METHOD. I HOLD NO DAMAGE CHARGES!!).

All in all, either you pay or *ahem*. For me, use the FREE alternative. What is the point of having it there and not using it? LOL. Cheers!

most probably because of the connection i guess then, but overall, the thing is good(one reason is because it free.. ), easy to configure( will ask before blocking any certain software...)...so recommended pc tools firewall...

dunno about others, any people who knew better about firewall can try this and give ur comment then...

pc tool firewall is a reliable program.but somehow,im thinking whats the different between register version and vice versa

i think is the control over sum hiddden setting.

what do you mean by hidden setting?any example??

free thing never have complete item

so far , i get feed up with zone alarm
and outpost is good but difficult to set up
pc tool firewall , just heard of it never have free time to test it

currently on window firewall , so far so good

pc tool firewall quite the same like windows firewall.maybe you should try it...

u got my offline msg liao of the thing u requested?

outpost u just need set it few time only.

is it possible to have update on window firewall? Right now, the my window firewall is unreliable than my pc tools firewall...

windows firewall is the basic one.not require new updates

I will use ERUNT the next time I format my computer...
Or try pc tools firewall lor...

Windows Firewall is teh lamest firewall~*~*
