Re-Formatted the pc

I was running PC-Cillin 2002 which was great in my books... easy to turn off for fast transfer's on msn and easy to update...

Just wondering if anyone knows any good firewalls? Easy to update? Easy to turn off? And most important that are free lol

I prefer to keep a shotgun by side. Much more affective than this 'wall built of flame' that you speak of :o

Outpost runs on your client machine and if your an xp user it can be modified by c derivative programming, with independant headless linux boxes this is much harder to do.

just makes network life a little more secure. especially if hosting servers on a DMZ or running load balancing.
