Re: AVIRA 8 Release Note If the rootkit scan gives you trouble, turn it off and use gmer. This should be good enough for the time being.

Although the Vista firewall is popular, there is quite a bit of diversity here in only a relatively small number of posts.
If you run Vista please chime in as to which firewall you are using and any noteworthy experiences or bugs. For the time being I am using the...
Re: AVIRA 8 Release Note The solution for bugs is to wear pointy shoes so you can squash them in the corners. Why did I expect a delay?

There are enough good free firewalls around to make spending money on a pay version look like a waste IMO. Use Comodo 3 with D+ off. It works...
Yeah, kind of a shock. The rest of this stuff about past track records of x, y or z is nice, but not nearly as important as current performance.
Are you running a bunch of security programs from small vendors? That could be the problem. Perhaps the other programs are the cause of your...
