[geeks] Win32 personal firewall poll

[Phil Stracchino]

Quickie poll:

Out of those who will admit to operating win32 boxen, whi likes which
"personal" firewalls and why?

I'll start off by noting that I'm currently using ZoneAlarm on our Win2K
boxen (which are also behind a Linux iptables firewall/NAT box).  I like
its ability to permit or deny local and Internet network access, both as
client and as server, on a program-by-program basis, but I'm getting
tired of it occasionally forgetting which programs are supposed to have
access (even when they're right there in its configuration) and having
to be reminded after every reboot that they're allowed access.  I'd like
to replace ZoneAlarm with a firewall that possesses that same ability,
or similar, but not the annoying amnesia (if such a beast exists).
