Your repair guy was giving you a $50 sales pitch.
My default firewall is Sygate 5.5. I also have Kerio 2.1.5 on my
hard drive and only run it occasionally (simultaneously) with
Sygate. The Kerio log shows Syate "calling home" only when I
manually update Sygate filter signatures.
If you have serious doubts about Sygate, install free Kerio and
monitor it.
