It is $40, and only a 30 day trial. We have 4 freeware, proven, firewall that will at least perform as well.

Look-n-Stop has been around for some time and is a pretty good FW, BUT,
Acklan and Xpert are on the money with what they said , L-n-S is kinda pricey and Sygate, another "pretty good FW" is free and what I use with windows as well. Sygate was bought by Symantec and they don't support the free ver. any more but that's not a big problem for a firewall like it would be for your AV or other maleware that needs constant updates. -------------------- "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
