JDoors Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 You think MicroSoft including a firewall with the OS has anything to do with others abandoning the market? Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I honestly don't think so, microsoft firewall only protects agains inboudn threats, if they already are infected before SP2 made that a mandatory operation, it can still try to infect others.Plust not everyone uses win 2000/xp There are still a lot of die hard fans of 9x/me out there.

Pierce Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I personaly use Agnitum Outpost, its a bit over the top security and i pay for it, it also has a "spyware" scanner in it now, and its getting better every day.Howerver, i do think that with my own firewall moving into spyware, is showing that the firewall market is either being cornered, or monopolized. Hardware (like internet routers and wirless routers) with firewalls are probably becoming quite an ever important choice.Pierce Link to post Share on other sites

Dragon Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Wasn't this announced a while ago????I use Sygate BTW<{POST_SNAPBACK}>yeah, it was originally posted at kerio forums on September 2nd, but no one posted here about it. so once I found out about it I posted it here so people here knew about it. Not everyone goes to every forum board like you, me Jeff and some others here. This way those that don't go to other boards, like members that come here for help only, get the message.
