Get rid of Norton. The Windows Firewall is far better than any 3rd party Firewall
????????? I can accept that there is an argument as to whether it is
adequate or not (I'm clearly on the "It's not!" camp), but I've *NEVER*
heard it rated as better than any other firewall!!!
Peter said: "any *3rd party* Firewall"* and most probably referred
specifically to 3rd party software personal firewalls (PFW).
What do you base this statement on??
I can't speak for Peter but there are credible reports in circulation
confirming his assertion. The reports are not commercially sponsored.
BTW, test reports conducted by some firewall testing organizations used to
test the Windows Firewall for *outbound traffic control* (a function which
never ever was incorporated) and compared it with 3rd party f/w apps.
