Sygate Personal Firewall

[kaputnik]

Hello, I have used this app for many years and have relied upon it greatly for stopping inbound but also as importantly outbound traffic, but when I installed the latest version here (version 5.6.2808) I noticed that my network connection was blocked despite settings to the contrary leading me to believe it's a bit buggy. I would suggest using the earlier 5.5 versions and if anyone is interested I have version 5.5.2710 I can upload to this site.

Hey kaputnik,

Welcome to the forum,
Thanks for taking time for your feedback. It would help a lot of users here. You can upload the files at http://www.mediafire.com/ or compress the instillation files in a zip file and upload it here as an attachment.

Aight, i've emailed oldapps the winrar archive of Sygate Personal Firewall vers. 5.5 build 2710. It's a MS installer file names spf.msi - that's how they used to label them so I haven't changed it. Just extract and run.

As far as i'm aware this is the last non-bug version of this app released before the development got taken over by some big commercial anti-virus company.

When first run it will invoke a few pop up windows asking about such and such a service accessing a port, you can click the tick box to make it remember your answer...

This process also stopped many a trojan trying to run on my mum's computer (bless). It also recognises changes in application executables too.

btw, couldn't upload the zip version as attachment, maybe too big?

I'm sure the admins will put up the file on the site by the next updates. Until then I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks for the contribution man. I'll try to help out users if they have any questions about the SPF.
