Sygate offers strong security as a firewall for most users. Keep updating


antivirus and adaware software and you'll be safe. Sygate by default blocks


all packets "nockig" to your computer so you are safe against present and


future worms, hackers flying arount Internet. The other problem is with


outgoing connections: decide wise when sygate asks for application


permissions - without updated signatures you are sygate's signture brain by


deciding which apps are bad or good. Sygate will learn from you if updated


signatures are not available.
