I ran across this article that says that Symantec is shutting down teh Sygate Personal firewall because it wants to continue selling Norton. http://news.zdnet.co.uk/internet/sec...9238815,00.htm
I tried to submit this as news but it did not let me. So I thought I would post it here. |

Eh, the Micro$oft firewall is holding up nicely for me anyways, but NORTON HAS TO BE SOOO GREEDY! This is why everybody hates norton.

This is Tech News Discussion right?? Maybe he didn't know it was old news...I certainly didn't know about, although I don't use Sygate or really care, but I didn't know. This info might come in handy one of these days...

This is news to me.
I use Sygate and I'll keep my current copy as it's my firewall of choice. I'll check out Kerio if I ever stop using Sygate. Stupid Norton!  vass | |
