i like sygate's firewall, but that thing was a total bastard on my internet connection. it would just strait up block most of my connection/bandwidth. i'd be downloading something, and it would be blocking half the transfer. couldn't figure out why it was doing it, but fuck it, i tossed that trash out.
i have noticed tho since i've switched to cable that my firewall/router is being pounded like a redheaded stepchild (this has been up since friday... but past couple days has been insane - constant activity). not sure if it has to do with the virus, but i imagine that's the case now... i can't think of anything else. and it's not through traffic, i.e. it's just hitting the router and stopping.
really makes me wanna cough up the dough for a sonicwall or cisco firewall instead of the little one i'm running...
