The #1 Firewall Choice of IT Pros.
Sunbelt Personal Firewall is the Windows IT Pro Readers' Choice Award winner for best desktop firewall! It was also
the least expensive firewall among the top three contenders, proving that affordability doesn't have to compromise quality.
SPF4 offers the hacker-proof security of a leading firewall for half the cost of the competition.
About the Windows XP Firewall...
The Windows XP firewall gives many people a false sense of security. Unlike SPF4 and other leading stand-alone firewall
software, the XP firewall does not block information going out of your PC. The bottom line: Your credit card numbers, passwords,
account information and more could be sent from your PC to a hacker, without the XP firewall even detecting the breach.
A Great Replacement for Sygate.
If you're looking for the free Kerio Firewall or a replacement for the Sygate firewall, you have found the right page.
Just like the original, the Sunbelt Personal Firewall will keep working after the first 30 days, but in basic mode.
