Hello guys. I have a problem here. I'm using Sygate Personal Firewall Pro now. I notice that my Sygate takes a very long time to load if my LAN connection is on when I boot my PC. But when I don't switch on my LAN connection during the PC startup, Sygate loads very quickly. In the end, I can only switch on my LAN connection after Sygate loads. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

The reason is that I'm very used to Sygate already. I tried using Outpost but it crashed with my Avast! So I reverted back to Sygate.

Oh, you mean Options? Care to show me the method? Thanks a lot.

I'm using version 5.6.3408. It's a pro edition. I remembered trying the latest free edition, same problem too.

Hello guys. I'm thinking of installing Outpost Firewall. Which antivirus do you think is suitable? As for as I know, Avast! has conflicts with Outpost. So what do you guys recommend? Thanks.

Guys, is it possible to install Outpost firewall and Kaspersky antivirus without formatting my PC? I plan to uninstall Avast and Sygate. Will it make my PC slow and cause conflicts?

Hello. What firewall software do you guys recommend to use in Windows Vista? I notice that Outpost, Zonealarm and so on aren't compatible with it. Thanks.

Yeah. The Windows Firewall's interface in Windows Vista is about the same as Windows XP's. But I think it's a more powerful one. Therefore, I'm not planning to use any 3rd-party firewall software already.

I think it's quite powerful. I went to do GRC's Shields Up and managed to pass the test. Just that, it's not that user friendly like I mentioned here.
