I have to terminate the SymWSC service from time to time because of that.įor all these reasons, plus the ones you mentioned, I'm kind of glad to see them heading for trouble now that Microsoft is preparing to take over the Anti-Virus/Firewall/Anti-Spyware market. Worse, some of the Symantec services leak handles by the thousands, not to mention RAM. Not only are Symantec's alternatives inferior to the products they destroyed, as anything they offer is incredibly bloated for what it does! I mean, I do use NAV, but it pisses me off when I see it running process after process after process (and consuming MB of RAM after MB of RAM) just to do a simple task which is to protect your computer from viruses. It happened with AtGuard (I loved that firewall too) and now with Sygate. When a product gets so good that it blows away anything Symantec has to offer, they solve the problem not by improving their own product but by buying out the competition and terminating their product. And I am PISSED at Symantec for doing exactly what you described! I don't know about alternatives, I'm still using the last release of the Sygate Personal Firewall Pro. 'til 2000, XP in 2005 (and lovin' it, much to the chagrin of myĪny ideas for a firewall alternative to ZoneAlarm for use with Win98? Linux since '92 so I bypassed Win95 altogether.

Oh well.įlashback: I remember in my good ole DOS/Win3 days Symantec So I was aiming toward Sygate's firewall. ZoneAlarm works fine on XP but bluescreens my Win98 setup If you're using the Personal line are you gonna stick with it or
(been offline and computerless since last September) and asĮxpected they killed off the Personal Firewall line.
But today it is also an anachronism and major source of pain for those who try to maintain a solution that requires to run ProComm on a modern computer.I just now found out that Symantec acquired Sygate's stuff Today ProComm remains a fond memory for those who used it (us among them). Finally discontinued with version 4.8, it went into a steep downward spiral. I am going to play tennis in the afternoon. Can you read that sign ahead of us? She said that she would follow him no matter where he went.
