I just installed it and i have some questions:

1.Why my connection speed is better with Sygate Pro then Norton Personal Firewall

2.I see adds thing that with Norton i didn't , doesn't block the adds Sygate ?

Because Sygate's packed filtering and scanning is faster and better than Norton's one...

1. cause norton's f/w sucks

2. no, sygate's not a an ad-blocker, but it can be an ad-blocker
have to play around with adding advanced rules, but it isnt hard
and you can add rules in groups, where i hear norton has to have entered
one at a time or somethin (for ip blocking)

3. yep, norton's f/w sucks

is telecom your isp?
if not, block it
if you find that this blocks something needed, its easy to un-block
and was your icon in the system tray blinking?
or was it just a pop-up from the tray?

[sharedholder]

The icon on the system try is flashing red every 3 seconds , and yes telecom is my isp. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp With Norton i didn't have have this attacks every 3 sec's.
