I was told that management was like a tree of monkeys.
Those at the top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces.

Yes, from web reporting, ZA appears to have gained a bad reputation
amongst many users.
Sunbelt Kerio fw is also easily configured, is free (although the more
'professional' version has to be paid for). I've been running it now for
some time on XP Home with no apparent adverse effects.
Mind you, as an IT Security paranoid, I've also got a router and AVG and
Avast, together with AD-Aware, SpyBot (never had any ill effects) and
SpyWare Doctor (for which I actually paid, having read the revues).

ah, the days when an 8Mb Winchester was cutting edge and we shared one

couldn't believe there'd ever be enough to fill it ;^)
