Enjoy.
But is ANYTHING truly secure? As long as there are computers, there will be ways to break into them. Always.

Haha I have always been the one saying BlackIce was not secure. I myself switched over to ZoneAlarm after a while from BlackIce because of the security problem. :)
At one time they had a good reputation. Maybe the investment is not there anymore. too bad
Let me just say the only personal firewall I recommend is Sygate's. As I've said before you can test the ability of your firewall at Sygate's website www.sygate.com for holes or you can use Tom Liston's Outbound program at www.hackbusters.net for application testing.
I've personally tested the 6 biggest personal firewalls and the only one that came out unscathed was Sygate's. In attacks and in application checking. It really works well.
Most, unfortunately, crash open which in my pinion is NOT good.
Um. . . . Did you test NeoWatch? I had it tested by a few hackers & they couldnt get through.Quote:

RogueSpy do you have link for this product? never heard of it.
Actually, no. But I did have other requirements for my tests. There had to be a way to remotely administer the policies, etc. etc. They had to have an enterprise management solution. Does Neowatch provide that?Quote:

I'll certainly go look it up. Thanks.
Right off the bat I see a problem with Neowatch. No application based policies that I see.
Hey Rogue, have you run Outbound on that firewall? www.hackbusters.net
Let me know the results, if you would be so kind.
Im at college right now. . . but once I get home I'll d/l OB & test it out. Thanks. :)
Zonealarm is no better than Black Ice Defender! Get Norton's internet security 2002, or sonicWALL!
Don't have clue about sonicwall but if you think Norton is secure than you have allot to learn.Quote:

If you'd be so kind as to run Outbound on those firewalls and let me know the results, I'd much appreciate it. See previous posts.
I agree, Gibson of www.grc.com disagrees however.Quote:

Even though Black ice is not totally secure you can still slip and bust your 127.0.0.1!
LMAO
I'm happy with BlackICE - it's pretty intuitive, and I'm not worried about anyone seriously trying to hack me - after all, what do I have worth hacking into? ;) It seems to catch most of them, so I'm happy enough with that.
