There is some good news in the free firewall arena. Kerio was going to discontinue their free Personal Firewall at the end of the year. Sunbelt just bought it and will offer a free version as well as reduced pricing for the full version. I don't have any experience with Kerio, as I use IPCop as my main home firewall, but at least both aren't going away. http://news.com.com/White+knight+rescues+Kerios+free+firewall/2100-7350_ 3-5978683.html?tag=nefd.top ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://Kenzig.com Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 10:14 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT: Sygate is dead Leave it to Symantec...they buy Sygate and soon will bury it ..... this sucks. http://www.symantecstore.com/dr/v2/ec_main.entry25?page=SygateSupport&cl ient=Symantec&sid=49998&CID=203890&CUR=840&DSP=&PGRP=0&ABCODE=&CACHE_ID= 0 Important Notice: Effective November 30th, 2005 all Sygate personal firewall products and forum support will be discontinued.
