Ärende: Re: ZoneAlarm into changing Drive Letters now
=====================================================
From: "Gary Britt" <glb@gencog.com>

Comodo Firewall seems like a good one to try.  I just downloaded it recently
after seeing it referenced here by someone, and after reading the very good
review given it by Neil Rubenking from PC Mag.  It tested better than both
Outpost and Sygate and its free.  They also have a free antivirus and a free
spam product.  I haven't used either of them, but might give a look at their
anti-spam product.  Right now I'm using Avast anti-virus and I'm perfectly
happy with its performance.
