Sygate Personal Firewall products get the ax due to overlap with Norton one month after Symantec's takeover of Sygate.

The Sygate Personal Firewall and Sygate Personal Firewall Pro products will no longer be available effective Nov. 30, Symantec spokesman Phil Weiler said Monday. Consumers will receive special upgrade pricing when they buy a replacement product from Symantec's Norton family of Internet security products, he said.

Several users in the college use Sygate Personal Firewall Pro for Windows XP and Windows 2003 resources. I think that it works well and is relatively inexpensive.

I'm curious to know what you all are using for a software firewall on your Windows desktops. Any suggestions and can you back up your claim for purchasing this specific product?
