I deploy laptops with native firewall off as like others said, causes
too many false results and burdens the OS, I install Zone Alarm Pro and
configure it, I don't just use the defaults, I also install Ad Aware Pro
and Symantec AV corp. ed. And enable and configure remote desktop
control, I can manage it from pretty much anywhere, but my road warriors
come in often enough that I usually just tweak them when they are in the
office, but I can worm on them remotely. I think the key is not using
the default settings. We did try MacAfee but the results were poor, may
have been an older version, but what we use works well, so we stick with
it.
Thank You

Subject: [THIN] OT: Desktop Firewall
What desktop firewall products are you using for Windows XP laptops?
We're looking to buy several laptops and would like to buy a tool that
is easily deployed and managed over the network.
We've been trying the MacAfee Firewall and we have lots of problems
pushing updates and managing it. Sometimes it completely blocks
everything.
The management tool is really bad!
Any recommendations?
