Ärende: Re: ZoneAlarm into changing Drive Letters now
=====================================================
From: "Antti Kurenniemi" <NOantti@SPAManttikPLEASE.com>

I'm trying out Comodo, but I'm not sure yet if I like it. It has a toy-like UI
which bothers me for some reason, and I find it a wee bit difficult to set it
up for things like a local webserver which I use for development but don't want
to be accessible from the outside. I've only used it for a week or so, though,
so I'm still in the "undecided" category.

I really, really likes Sygate, but need something current which I can use for
friends and family when needed...
