I have used ARC Serve for a couple of years and I like the product. I have already downloaded the 9.4MB install file. I will give it a try. I think CA makes good products.

Their ETrust Single SignOn is pathetic. At least from my experience with it. I'll certainly give this a try. Can't beat the price.

Well I didn't know that ZoneLabs and CA were associated. This firewall is ZoneAlarm!:t

I don't like zonealarm much.
If I want an interface designed to look nice for todlers I'll go buy a macintosh.
Its Sygate Firewall all the way for me. Its completely free (doesn't only last 1 year) and looks much better.

Out of sheer boredome I read jakk's PC housekeeping just to pass time as I didn't feel like studying awhile back. Pointing me to kiero outpost. Must say I'm quite pleased with it. Sometimes it "forgets" certain things, but it hasn't happened lately, not to mention the built in ad blocker is nice. Overall better than ZoneAlarm's free version. I use Zone Alarm PRO (not freeware one) on my main rig and keiro on my classwork machine. Zone Alarm is easier to use and does pretty much the same stuff and a bit more, but keiro is a bit more picky about letting things in or out under programs if they aren't under the same address as it normally uses - thus I'll get a popup to authorize it. No biggie. Haven't tried Sygate.

I use Kerio myself and after my 12 hour "test" of the EZ Armor suite, I went back to eTrust antivirus and Kerio for my protection. I never really liked ZA anyway.:t

What matters to me is that it is a FREE solution both as a firewall AND an antivirus (plus the little extra-features). Even though it's limited to one year. You guys know of a better solution for BOTH firewall AND up-to-date antivirus?? I'd really be interested, as I don't want to have the same problem in a year.

LOL. I presume you've not seen Windows XP then... A genuine attempt at a toddler's interface, coupled with Microsoft's legendary levels of insecurity. Seriously, speaking as a multi-platform sysadmin, the only boxes I trust for stability and security run Mac OSX or Linux. Fortunately for me it's thanks to Microsoft's wonderfully flawed OSs that I manage to make a living keeping WinBoxes operational :cool:

doubleclick - i've been using micro trend's PC-Cillin, which is anti-virus and firewall, real time monitor, and it gives you detailed logs you can sync to your PDA too. i've had great luck with it so far.

I used to use ZoneAlarm, but now I'm a Sygate convert after so many people extolling it's virtues. I haven't looked back - it's more customisable than ZA, and doesn't mess up my IE access every so often like Outpost has a tendency of doing.

Fortunately for me it's thanks to Microsoft's wonderfully flawed OSs that I manage to make a living keeping WinBoxes operational :cool: XP is much better than its predecessors (except for maybe 2k) and the interface is switchable to an old style look. Personally, i like the XP. I use ChaNinja skin and kept all the folder extention things (like music folders) set as normal. All is good.
I find OSX to be a toddlers playpen.. not configurable enough for me, and too simple and basic, not enough advanced stuff - made to be easy... it does have advanced stuff, but not as much as windows.
Linux is cool tho :D

Hmmm, curious... Not configurable enough? Not enough advanced stuff? I think UNIX die-hards might disagree slightly... And as for being "made to be easy" - that's not really a bad thing, unless of course you like doing things the hard way.
Most people who've spent time with OSX tend to have rather different perspectives - and if you venture beyond the Aqua interface you will find a BSD foundation that is powerful, stable and rich in advanced features.
At the end of the day most PC users won't give OSX the benefit of the doubt because (a) it's not Windows (and therefore utterly alien), and (b) it's not Linux (and therefore not cool). The fact that it's a great OS (AND gets the job done) is sadly overlooked...

Do people have an opinion on the Windows XP built-in firewall? Is it better/worse than things like ZoneAlarm? I kind of like ZoneAlarm, but I'm annoyed about how some of its messages are confusingly sugar-coated, for instance, why does it have to say "Do you want to allow ICQ to act as a server" and not "Do you want to allow ICQ to listen on a TCP socket"... Does the XP firewall even allow per-program controls?

I never use a firewall, I think a virus scanner is a must, but I have never really had anyone "hack" into my system, and if they did they couldn't of thought much.
