I was looking up fire walls for my computer and came across one from Sygate just wondering how good it is and whats a good anti virus program out there that you all would recommend (freeware)


I,m using NAV and NIS but my subscription is up on it and I could like to get something good to replace it that isn't a memory hog

I use sygate and love it. Fairly simple to use and very effective, i've also heard of many people using it. I hear Zone Alarm is another good free firewall. For anti virus programs i use AVG (free) and so do many people. Updates all the time and it works great, while not being a big memory hog.

Well I downloaded the SYGATE firewall and tested it on a bunch of places on the net and it passed all tests , Plus I downloaded the AVG anti-virus program and it seems to work except it won't update unless you download them your self but who can complain when it's free


I can't beleave I paid $60.something dollars for something when theres free ones around:D
