Sygate Firewall

[moosey]

I was going to use the free version of Sygate and was looking at the comparisons

Are the added features in the pro version worth the money? I'm not sure exactly what all of them do.

just use the free version, it does the job

If you are behind a broadband router/firewall and run windows update often and have some kind of active antivirus, you should get by with the free version.

But I administer the sygate security agent for my company, and I'll stress that their IDS signatures are one of the strongest features of the product. It actively blocks exploits from all malware and instrusion attempts - both incoming and outgoing.
