Hi all,

I been using sygate for a while but for memory usage thought would try windows SP2 firewall see what its like. Its easy to use and good on memory but is it as safe i mean you cannot control it hardly it will update better cos its conencted ot windows update site but is it good.

Not having tested the SP2 version INAE but would stick with Sygate. It's respected and you know where you are with it.
Unless M$ have taken a quantum leap with Windows Firewall, I'd expect shortcomings.
Obviously, if someone else here has tried and tested it, speak up! :)

i don't like it...not enough configuration in it for me.
it does have outgoing traffic control though. ;) (the original xp firewall didn't).

i'd stick with sygate.

Well i will give it a while see what it is like. Speed the same and memory usage down. Also passed all firewall tests i threw at it so far
