Hi WW

Just now I seem to lurch from one family crises to another but that is another story which will keep me busy for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, your question about free firewalls, I have come across the following:

Outpost Firewall (Basic Version)
Sygate Personal Firewall
Kerio Firewall

Now, I cannot vouch for any of them because I have not used them myself or know anyone else that has used them.

I suggest you approach each one of them with caution and let the forum know how you get on.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice on the firewalls, I will look into them and let the forum know how I get on...
I've heard Kerio mentioned on the Norbiesworld forums, it was listed in their preferences, so that will be the first one I'll check into...
Again many Thanks...
Theres nothing like family to keep you busy, I know if its not one thing its another...
Take care Mate

noticed you telling ww about firewalls.
Didn't include Zone Alarm??
Been using this for years ( free version), seems fine and i thought it well regarded?

The reason for that is because I tried Zonealarm and its not compatible with Avast AV which I have...
I Tried Kerio and didn't like it, its not very user friendly, I couldn't work out how to configure it with LW...
I did like Zonealarm as it was very user friendly, maybe it would be easier to get a new AV....

Hope this clears up the mystery.
