Yep, I'd be interested to know that two Barry. When I go over to sP2 it would be interesting on thoughts of others whether using the windows firewall in sp2 would be better than using a third party firewall. I'd like to get rid of zone alarm myself as, I don't really like it. I don't like it's reliance of graphics and an extended layout. the control centre is not very compact.

My thinking is that Windows is going to be a target for hackers more than Sygate. This is double edged as it means that Windows should know about any potential threats before Sygate but, in the time it takes to write an update to get around a hack, the targeted Windows firewall will be venerable. > > Barry H > > ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
