I expect that you will have to purchase it.
Also, I ran McAffee for a while and was not all that pleased with it.
I found it awkward to use and intrusive into daily operations of my system.
I dumped it and went with a router.

Hi I just started the a v g virus program and resolved my problem with
exiting Microsoft out look, by removing my Norton internet security package.
I was wondering if you could tell me where I could get a copy of the macafee
fire wall software?

I have been using AVG for a couple of years now, on two computers, and have
not had a problem with exiting either outlook 2000 or 2003.

I didn't use AVG for more than a week or so. II always at least try out
things I put on JFWLite, but I don't know if AVG has anything to do with
your problem with exiting OE or not.
Realize that an antivirus program and a firewall are two different things.
Everyone should have a good antivirus program to protect yourself from
viruses.
As far as a firewall to protect yourself from intrustions, I would just buy
a router and be done with it, and not necessarily worry about having a
software firewall program, smile.
But if you do use a software firewall, it seems like they all require some
jaws cursor involvement in the configuration dialogs. I think the main
thing to consider is if the pop up that asks for a program to access the
internet works with Jaws or not. McAfee's does not out of the box.
I really can't give you my opinion on which one is the one you should choose
based on what is the best firewall protection. I use a router and don't
keep a firewall program installed for very long other than when I'm checking
it out to help with a question.

Hi I am writing as I am looking for a fire wall program which could work
well with Jaws. I have on my system the Norton internet security suite, but
my subscription is going to run out, and I don't like paying Symantec on a
yearly bases for antivirus etc. If you could tell me how well the macafee
firewall works, and where I could get it along with your scripts perhaps
that might be a good one for me to use.
Also I downloaded and installed the avg virus program from the jfw lite, and
now my Microsoft outlook is having problems when I try to exit it.
I am presented with an error dialog, and when I attempt to investigate it I
am directed to a Microsoft anti crash sight which presents me with options
to upgrade my version. I wonder if you might have any thoughts on this and
I am not sure if the problem is related to the install of avg.
