Actually, when I had Windows at home I used AtGuard until they sold to Symantec, then 
I got Norton Personal Firewall mainly to ensure upward compatibility.  NPF seems to 
have the same features as AtGuard with the exception of the ad blocker, and offers 
some small improvements over AtGuard's latest version that I'm sure would have made it 
into the app anyway.  I had two gripes with NPF though.  One is that the options panel 
is deeper than before, and the second is that it tried to make a connection to 
Symantec without asking in interactive mode (Zone Alarm caught that).  Of course, with 
the latter, Zone Alarm tries the same thing when first installed.

Subject: Personal firewalls question (for Windows)


I have been reading this mailing list for several months now, and I 
haven't "heard" about a "personal firewall" (for Windows) with the 
amount of options and features of AtGuard. I still use AtGuard at home 
and work and I really really like it but I don't know what other options 
exist in case in some other version of Windows it just stop working...

I know Symantec bought the "technology"  :-(  , but I don't see the same 
power in their software...
