agnitum outpost v3 - the horror?
Carol Haynes:
What are you using now then?
Presumably if version 3 has been released a point will come where earlier versions of OutPost will not be supported.
Is ZoneAlarm now the only real alternative?
mouser:
i went back to v2.5 for now, but i'm on the hunt for a better firewall, yet again.
Carol Haynes:
Keep us posted on what you find out ...
Trouble is I need to find a new one desperately too as Sygate dies today (I am waiting for the explosion)

Hey, Carol: What about good old Kerio Personal Firewall... It's got a few weeks left in it, and that should give you a window after Sygate's gone. And chances are far into the future too. A lot of people still swear by KPD 2.15. I would rather use that than ZA.
I have been running Outpost 3 for awhile too, and it cause BSOD several times - with a documented conflict that they've still not fixed. I now run it in background mode, and it's certainly a lot easier to wok with - i.e. it says a lot less. Maybe I am less protected than I ought to be, especially since I have temporarily dumped Online Armor because it was just too intrusive...
Carol Haynes:
Thanks for the suggestion but I don't want to install Kerio for a month, try to work out how it works and then have to swap again to a new product. Sygate won't die instantly as of today. OK there won't be updates, but I have other security measures too and so I feel I have a few days to safely sort out a replacement.
Apart from ZoneAlarm (possible) & Norton/Symantec (which I don't want to go back to) are there any other contenders out there (that don't demand a degree in rocket science to use) ???
Anyone else got any suggestions?
