Immunet looks like it's starting to have some of the features of Cisco's cloud offering, things like Advanced Threat Prevention. Version 6.0 is...
Another one worth looking at: www.opnsense.org (yes, opnsense, not opensense) It's a fork of pfSense, fewer add-ons, but cleaner interface and (I...
I try a number of them (I have several hard disks that I have configured, one with Sophos UTM 9, one with Sophos XG, one with pfSense, etc..., and...
To answer my own question, the XG underlying operating system may well be Linux. I say this because Sophos recently put up a notification that XG...
Or take the hardware you already have and install one of the Sophos free-for-home-use firewalls. You've been thinking about it for years - time...
That is a good read - thanks for that. It's good that Sophos admits XG has a way to go before it's complete. They recognize the user interface is...
Running the XG home edition here, too. Configuration can be confusing (the UI is not task-oriented, so you need to go digging to find some basic...
I had a similar thing happen the other day (warning popup, couldn't close it, had to go into Task Manager to kill the browser process, etc.) I...
One I remember was IP Agent, a utility that Steve Gibson (of Shields Up! firewall testing fame) made available many years ago. According to...
I went the opposite direction. Based on this thread, I tried the latest BD Free (I stopped using it a long time ago because of bugs like the logs...
Look under Network Protection/Intrusion Prevention and select the Attack Patterns tab. You can set which ones you want from there. Just remember...
I've noticed that the Avira engine uses significantly more memory than the Sophos engine. When running Sophos, my system (an Atom-based mini-ITX...
Mayahana - I saw your previous post, and almost mentioned it in mine, but I thought I'd stick to my experiences. My experiences are different...
I was using IPfire, but decided to give the latest version of Sophos UTM (9.3) another try. My experience has been excellent. It has a very...
Agreed. On my home network, I'm running ipfire on a dual core Atom mini-ITX board, w/ Squid proxy (transparent), URL filtering (Shalla's list),...
Just did a clean install (no previous AV) of the new version (from the web installer, newly downloaded from Bitdefender's site), Windows 7 64 bit....
I just discovered the change in Norton DNS IP addresses yesterday, when my wife's Windows PC starting throwing up certificate errors (and warnings...
I stopped using BD Free a while ago - one of the reasons I stopped was that they did, at least once, update the code and not increment the version...
Huh. I'm still getting the bug. Windows 7 SP1 32 bit fully updated. Clean install of Avira 14.0.3.350 (whose control panel says it's working...
Thanks, m0unds and anon.
Anon - Is "Online Essentials" required? One thing I like about Avira is that you don't need to register with them, set up an account, and use...
I had the same thing happen here a couple days ago. Maybe the folks at Avira are releasing the new version to different geographies over time?
Avira is very good (I use it), but it does still have occasional (monthly?) little "toast" pop-ups advertising things like their product for...
Yes, the AV will cover the "standard" (non-admin) account. This is the *only* way I run Windows 7 at home, on my and my family members' PCs.
I forgot that you need to do a "Custom Install" to avoid the Ask toolbar installation. I always do a "custom install" (of anything), so it just...
