Don't want to get into a 'mine's bigger/better than yours' match but the Zone
Alarm of
today isn't the Zone Alarm of yesterday. Seems to me that their's a fair bit of
'fud' being
spread on this subject over the last couple of days and folks might want to
take
everything that's been said about various software firewalls with a grain of
salt and do a
bit of research for themselves.
And that's all *I* have to say on the subject....
