Sygate Personal Firewall is more than an advanced, user-friendly personal firewall, it's a bi-directional intrusion defense system. It ensures your personal computer is completely protected from malicious hackers and other intruders while preventing unauthorized access from your computer to a network. In essence, it makes your protected machines invisible to the outside world. That makes it a must-have security measure for any PC that connects to a private network or the public Internet. Once you've been compromised, every other network you connect to is at risk; including your home, business and online bank accounts. No matter where you use your computer, whether remote or behind a corporate firewall, whether dial-up or an always-on broadband Internet connection, it gives you complete confidence that your precious business, personal, financial and other data is safe and secure. If that isn't enough, it includes advanced active-scan vulnerability assessment to pinpoint your weaknesses and fine-tune your security policy.

    Excellent & powerful free firewall - for power users only. I have been using it for serveral years. Small bug in this version when network config or status changes during standby/hibernation.
    Symantec has recently bought this product - so *no more updates* to the free version (you can only get it from 3rd party links now). I've changed to Sunbelt Kerio's firewall now.

    Good Free Firewall though the Pro version is tiny bit better.
    Benn using the Pro version for almost a year.

    been using this for ages, and is worthy
    of 5-stars from me, but this particular
    version 5.6 build 2808 doesnt work at all
    for me... just a warning, ppl. Waiting for
    next version.

    I can't see any advantage over the WinXP SP2 firewall... Guess I would have to buy the Pro version to have any features that are not included in the Win version also.

    Quoting Mod, Matt:



    the changelog will probably be posted sometime next week.. i didnt even know they released it to the public..

    it is now recognized by the xp security center.. the hide notification message for only certain applications still is not fixed.. you either have to disable all notifications or nothing..
