Ahhh... The day just gets better and better doesn't it?...
AOL has been quiet here for the past couple of months as far as the constant scanning and connection attempts go. Hopefully, that will be the one...
You could look into investing in a MS ISA type proxy as well for additional protection. You'd need a cheap or older machine running MS Web server...
Figures lie and liars figure... Go figure. I feel so cheap and used by these dirty magazine people!
The vulnerability scan is an add on for the enterprise product. I have no idea about the SMB side of the line. Fairly useful for enterprise...
Another thought to go along with this testing nonsense. Check out the latest test from Consumer Reports. CR consistently ranked, get this: Trend...
Most of these magazine tests are based on home-user type "suites" anyhow. So much of what GUI turns one tester on and another off seems to play a...
As you can read above it really depends on where you want your CPU cycles to be running, doesn't it? Personally, I prefer a hardware based...
If it really bothers you block those really obvious ports like 137-139, et. al. at the broadband router. There really is no real reason that you'd...
You can also use services.msc Right click on Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Services (ISC) to start, stop, restart, start manually, start...
Of course without running any A/V or grayware/spyware detection the answer will always be that you've never even received a tracking cookie - let...

Generally the A/V products that have given me the most trouble also tend to be the "best sellers" here in America, at least: Symantec (Any); Huge...
The one advantage of using a smaller home based appliance over say a linux distro would be less electricity, i.e. a few watts vs. 200 watts, etc....
Agree with Tester here. Give Comodo a shot. If nothing else it is easy to install, learning mode is pleasant enough from what I have seen and hey!...

It really depends on how much you want to learn/fuss with a firewall. If your willing to put in the effort then Jetico would be the way to go....
