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.

    Very good firewall, easy to configure, if you can't figure it out it's still easy because of the pop up windows asking your permission and how to handle connections if temporary or permanent.

    Sygate was bought out by Norton/Symantec and is no longer being developed, however there was very little changes with each version, you can now get the latest Sygate Personal Firewall Pro v 5.6 for free, just google and look on all those download sites like tucows, cnet, download.com and more.

    All you need in a firewall without the extra crapification to slow you down. of course like most firewall it may drive you batty while you train it.

    Symantec announced that Sygate is no longer supported. That is sad considering that Sygate kicked Norton Firewall's A** but then again I guess technical excellence will always be secondary to money.
