1. Comment - Symantec Acquires Sygate

   (Aug 20, 2005 - 5:01 AM)

   It's not good practice to have a firewall on windows or on the same box as the client. But since everyone can't afford to have another pc as a router/firewall/IDS/trojan scanner then software on the client is the only alternative. And among those, I think sygate was the best on windows.
   
   It's to bad sygate will become bloated and crap now, but what can you do. If you have another junk pc sitting around, you can pop in linux based IPCOP and let that protect your entire network. It's free, unlike the stuff you see above. Just an alternative as the screws get tightened around windows folks.
