I've been using Sygate Pro, but it continually causes me problems.
This morning, for example, it insisted on blocking Outlook Express,
which I have been using daily. Removing the program from the
applications list and allowing Sygate to find it again worked last
time this happened. This time I had to delete ALL applications before
it would allow Outlook Express again.

SO, and I know the question has been asked before, what is the best
free firewall program that allows custom blocking rules and does not
contain the word "zone" in it?

Or is there one that is worth the money to license?

nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest
lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
