| 819742 | 2009-10-12 08:01:00 | In Windows 98SE, I went to Kerio 2.1.5 from ZA,as ZA was resource hungry, and Kerio had a very small footprint. I have seen no need to change, still use it with XP. It is tiny and free, has no bells or whistles, and is easy to use. I did try Comodo once on another computer, but at that time was not impressed. |

| 819749 | 2009-10-12 09:21:00 | Ascent's website says it is a "basic" firewall, not a "true" firewall which means it does not have NAT. My understanding is that this means it is no better than the Windows firewall. |

Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice. |
