Is this the most recent version? Have you updated it lately? I couldn't
tell from Sygate's site what version they are currently offering. I use
the Sygate firewall on my Windows machines, but their site is not as
informative as one would want.

If you haven't updated the firewall lately, try downloading the latest
version.
