Chip, I agree with you about Sygate; I've never had any problem with it. i
haven't used windows fire wall in a good while now.

Yes, it works with jaws, but it in no way is an adequate replacement for
Sygate. They're not the same type of product at all, even though both
call themselves a "firewall".
The Windows firewall only prevents connections which originate from
outside your pc from reaching it. In my opinion, these are hardly worth
bothering about.
Sygate prevented those which originated from within your pc (those that
can include spyware, trosian horses, and the like) from getting out
unless you ok it. I never have any trouble reading the dialog, so I'm
not sure why you did.
The trouble with Sygate however is that most folks don't know whether to
answer it's constants questions with a yes or a no answer.
