The best firewall is a hardware firewall. Pick up a linksys router or the new SMC Barricade. More secure, more configurable and you can share internet access.
Summary: I just have a quick question about firewalls and which one is the best. I started out with Zone Alarm and didn't really like the features - So I switched to Sygate Personal Firewall for a while and li...
