wise to use?

Does anyone have a download link for Sygate (free) that's valid? Or is
the product no longer available, period?

downloaded Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808.

Personally, my problem with you is that, instead of answering people's
questions or addressing the issue raised, you preach ... and you not
only preach, but preach the same sermon over and over and over, ad
nauseam like one of those Linux nuts. Guess it's time to give my
killfile something new to chew on ...
