I don't know if the paid version is still available, or if
Symantec changed the name and use it as their own firewall now.
This says last updated in 2004, and I would guess there's no
updates for it either since it's the free version.

Larry it's not "mandatory" to have updates for a firewall, but
it's best because good ones will prevent malware and that part
has to be updated. I still don't know if you paid for yours or
not, or if the paid version has updates. If it does not, then
you may want to consider using another. Comodo is free it's
considered the best now by many.

so I can't say anything about it personally.

Sygate is no longer; it was acquired by Symantec in August
2005,
