Kind of hard for me to put much faith in a company that would make such a blatantly false statement as this.

It's been around for a while. I looked at it a few versions back and wasn't impressed, but it could have changed a lot since then. Nothing wrong with trying a new (to you) product out and testing it, but I would be leary about a product that has been free and available for a long time, yet has not gained much good press.

No dis intended, just airing my thoughts.

I tried the Wyvenwork firewall over a year ago for a week. I didn't like it at all. The screenshot on the site tells me they've at least done something with it, so maybe it's improved somewhat.

I say give it a test and hit some of the various sites and see how it works, pcflanks, auditmypc, sygate, and others you can find, and let us know. You ought to have a feel of how good it is, or isn't, after putting it through its paces.
