sygate, before it was taken over by symantec, was a very good one.
but the revised version is useless.
If u can get the earlier version from someone, go for it.

Try Sygate or Zonealarm. Once tried Ashampoo out of curiosity, it is ok.

Yes , yes I do that (meaning i remove the tick mark). but a security company using adware doesn't convey a good image, thats all....

true.. but if it was something like in zonealaram then i think its fine.. cause they are providing an award winning firewall software for FREE , i think they deserve to add toolbar links..
