Firewalls - please, i can't be bothered.
Darwin:
Hmmm... a search of ZA's forum finds at least one other person with the identical problem. The answer (it's not a solution as such) is that this is not normal but can occur if startup is taking a long time. So I guess this is a symptom, not the cause, of my slow boot times... Just FYI!

Safety.Net -

I discovered it last year, have been using it ever since.
Speaking of multiple-function security tools, I am quite favorably impressed with Spyware Terminator -

It surprised me, I'm hard to impress. Would be a good compliment to XP's firewall, I think.
I used to use Outpost, but it was a headache sometimes. I think ZoneAlarm is a ho, I tried it a long while back and said never again. I can't respect proggies that tell me what a good job they are doing without my asking "howzit going?"

As I'm certainly the one who knows the least here please allow me an innocent question.
I've been using Blackice defender for quite a while but haven't seen any comments about it from others. So, what do you think?

Link to BlackIce ;)
Welcome at DC, biox :up:
f0dder:
I tried out BlackIce briefly, but it bogged down my system and caused a couple of BSODs, so I removed it again. Dunno if it conflicted with NOD32 (or did I run Kaspersky at that time?), but I wasn't impressed :-\
