Funny you mentioned your preference for Symantec AV, but go with Sygate
and ZoneAlarm firewalls. How about Symantec's firewall David? Any
opinions there?
I have Norton Personal Firewall 2001 I picked up somewhere along the way,
and it's been good for me as far as I can tell. You can set it to
auto-deal with things, or have it alert you each time there's an incoming
our outgoing issue, and lets you configure the settings manually... or for
issues with major brand software like other Symantec software, will suggest
you let it auto-configure itself.
As for AV... I was kind of wondering what issues Lee has with Norton. I
have Norton 2000 that I just keep reinstalling onto a fresh copy of W98
somewhere that keeps making Symantec (now owning Norton) think it's a fresh
installation. That way I get free updates for 6 months to a year or so. I
was guessing that the current Symantec AV definitions are about as good as
I'm going to find.... no?
Matt
