Zone Alarm Pro Vs Sygate P. Firewall Pro

[racer II]

Which one is better?
Zone alarm pro or sygate personal firewall pro.
And why?

I`m allready using zone alarm pro but it has some problems when i am running Emule.

[ObiWan]

I use Norton Personal firewall and IMO its very good

[Paul_NFFC]

norton 2003 is best i reckon, ive tried them all (mcafee,norton,zone alarm pro etc) and id say norton 2003 is best

[scribblec]

i use zne and sygate
which ever i feel on the day

Does Norton use a MD5 check on files and dll's that are used by programs that want to connect to the internet? If not, then SyGate is superior.

I have never liked ZoneAlarm.

[Rip The Jacker]

Sygate is free, smaller, easier to use (IMO).

Pain in the ass popup alerts?

i just dl'd ZA pro and installed great and in a matter of 2 hours online blocked 5 attempts from outside traffic and 4 of those were pretty high risk. i would recommend it.

Just because ZoneAlarm says that it blocked a 'high risk' connection attempt doesn't make it a good firewall

Not that I am saying that it is a bad firewall.
