Not likely to pay for it when time comes due THIS time if they haven't
fixed
it soon.

Same here, licence due in 3 weeks but I'm going to stick with V4.5 and not
renew.
SP2 will be out soon, I'll see what the new Windows firewall has to offer.


That was what I was thinking, too. Not at all happy with the idea of the XP
firewall as it is right now but then I am the type who likes to read logs!


I know that quite a lot of commercial firewalls are basically not up to the
job and the idea that you can hide safely behind a router without worrying
went out with the Ark. So, going to look into finding NEW names. It still
annoys me that Atguard sold out to Symantec to become the NIS firewall. It
was such a GOOD prog before they got hold of it.
