Temporary antivirus/firewall solution...

Some of you may have already seen/heard about this; Norton has applied a patch to it’s 2006 security suite that fixes the most recent activation exploit (bug).

So far today I’ve tried:

:tdown: Freedom (from Adelphia)
http://www.ubrf.org/forums/images/smilies/tif.gif Zone Alarm (not impressed)
http://www.ubrf.org/forums/images/smilies/tif.gif AVG (meh, it’s okay… not great, but not all that bad.)

Can anyone a recommend solid antivirus/firewall solution?

my firewall is sygate pro I will use nothing else!

Sygate puts out a free one also which isn’t bad

LOL same here :tup: Been using it for the past 2 years… when I formatted my pc the last time, I gave zone alarm a shot and lets just say, it stayed on my machine for a few hours before going back to sygate.

just a heads up though, they used to offer a free version, but dont anymore. if you look for “sygate personal firewall download” in google you should find it no problem.

oh, and I use AVG… been using it for a long time now and hasnt let me down yet. In fact, I was running Norton before I went to AVG and AVG picked up 2 virii that norton never seen (yes, it was up to date)

dling sygate personal firewall + serial…

any other recommendations? keep 'em coming. :smiley:

AVG is one of the best AV programs out there, good luck finding one better.

and please dont say norton.

make sure that it is personal firewall pro http://www.ddetail.com/sygate.zip

i have to say it does pick up a descent amount of stuff. the user interface could be set up a liiiiiiiiittle better…

mostly the problem i’m having with it right now is that the e-mail scanning says ‘not installed’… :gotme:

woo hoo, thanks for the link. :tup:

that was a lot faster than p2p. :smiley:

anything else you need lol

are u using the free ver or the regged ver.

the email part has never been an issue for me, always installed without any hitches, but im using the enterprise ver. im not sure if the free ver. does the email scanning.

i’ll be sure to ask you first. :wink:

this is a reg version, but it says ‘email server edition’ or something… maybe i’ll have to look for another.

i have a copy if u want it, its pretty small

for sure. :smiley:

yeah, the free version has email scanning :tup: :slight_smile:

kevin, hook me up man

holy shit this is like the worst thing you could EVER put on your comp

doesn’t scan the boot sector or registry, either

lol is it that bad? I was gonna use it when I first joined adelphia, but decided against it
