Oh no i dont have any problems, what i meant was, if any new member followed the title of the thread to test his security and read the comments, he would become confused.
We can start a topic under General chat about what we should share at Avtech forum, if you are interested i.e
Maybe, I need to make a change, NIS's firewall isn't good enough
which one will you chose to install among these vendors?
Zone alarm
outpost
private firewall
Pctools firewall
Let me say. NIS Firewall can block GRC test if you turn off the silent mode. But surprisingly PC Tools cannot block leaktest. There have been some arguments that it is a FP by GRC test. But don't know why this FP occurs specifically with PC Tools Firewall.
Im rather inexperienced with PC tools firewall, I prefer Outpost/OA to it.
(PC Tools FW never worked on my PC due to some driver issues)
Anyway, the default mode (silent) of the Norton firewall is somewhat unnerving at times. You never know what is allowing/blocking, that is why I prefer a firewall with a strong HIPS.
