e Trust Firewall

[solarpowered candle]

I have been looking at e Trusts firewall , and downloaded it , and noticed its almost the image iof zonealarm , but really so much easier to set up and use . It has the EZ Firewall version 3.7.179 and True Vector security engine version 3.7.179 and the same Driver version. I think they said that CA are a part of zonelabs or have interests as such . If this be so , I wionder why many dont opt for EZ Firewall instead ?
Its $39 the first year and $19 there after .
Has any one had any experience with this. Thanks

Well, CA is not part of Zonelabs :) they are one of the largest 'independent' software developers.

On their website (http://my-etrust.com/products/Firewall.cfm) you can read the about the relationship:

CA is not very well known in the consumer market, their focus so far has been the corporate business, although the AV-solution is quite popular (and of a very decent quality).

So, it is ZoneAlarm and it seems more user friendly. By all means try it;)

Hello Meneer, Thanks for the nice info . I have it now running on my system as its a very good compliment to the CA anti virus download that you posted last week , ( by the way thanks for that , Its a great software package indeed.) 8)

Does it have any privacy controls like ZAPRO? Or is it more like the free ZAF?
