Free Personal Firewall works well even if now unsupported |
|
I say: A personal firewall is a MUST HAVE. After trying Zonealarm and Agnitum I finally discovered Sygate Personal Firewall following a strong recommendation on the Langalist. Unfortunately Symantec, who produce Norton bloatware, have now bought out and killed off Sygate, so this is no longer supported. But it still works and if you can find it, I'd say it's well worth a try.
The Kerio free firewall has also been taken over by Sunbelt, who are (ATM) continuing to support the free version, so that may be a better free alternative. Hovever I now use a pro firewall, so I can't exactly recommend something I haven't tried.
They say: Nothing anymore... they've been taken obver by Symantec :-(

FIFTY FREEWARE FAVOURITES - A GENERAL NOTE
Please Don't Contact Me...
About any app NO LONGER in my 50 Favourites... I simply don't want to know...
For help... Please don't contact ME for help using any program. I only recommend it, I don't (and can't) offer a free support service for every program I recommend.
What you can do for yourself is...if you have any problems with anything I've recommended, contact the author of the program, or Google it.
Re: broken links... Links change. I have stated above the date on which I last checked the links. When I next update this section I'll check all the links again. So please don't contact me if the links don't work - I'll find out eventually.
What you can do for yourself is... if the links I give are broken, try searching for the program using Google or FileMirrors - that's what I'd do!
Re: it's not freeware! All of the programs I recommend in this section are 'free' in the sense that they were at one time distributed as fully functional software with no payment required for their continued use. However... some software companies withdraw their freeware, or offer programs as freeware for a short period before 'upgrading' them to shareware. So please don't contact ME to say any program I recommend is no longer freeware. I'll find out when I next update.
What you can do for yourself is... search the net... As I understand it, if you can find the original freeware distribution, and it still works, there's nothing to prevent you from legitimately using it. You could try the Last Freeware Version or OldVersion.com.
