Re: 64-Bit Software Firewall

Oh SHUTUP you arrogant snob.

For his needs Zone Alarm is fine. Take a break from the computer and
go look at yourself in the mirror because you sure as Hell are not
offering an valuable advice.

you need another one wasting resources and causing connectivity issues?
Simply because Windows Firewall is inadequate for my uses.
I need outbound connections being scanned as well as inbound.

I does scan outbound connections.

Anyway, ZoneAlarm never served you well. And you not noticing, not even
trying to notice them by an audit, shows that you don't have the technical
competence to make such judgements.
