Interesting. I did some leak tests of the four free firewalls and it
was encouraging to see that all of them are improving. I'm not too
wound up on that subject though since I'm far more interested in
prevention rather than after-infection alerting, both in the malware
and spyware arena. That's why I took an interest in Sponge's approach
of blocking spyware via Kerio ... at least for awhile.

BTW, I've killed Outpost's Active Content filtering. It just became a
PITA, interfering with my Moz based browsers, no matter how I set it
up. I find no need for it. I do like the Ad blocking plug-in though.
