recommend a security suite?

[timOleary]

I get a kick out of the way people just ignore the questions asked and
go on and on with their own egos but never bother to come back to the
actual question that was asked.  Dumb.

Anyway, yes, the firewall is still free.  Go to zonealarm.com and click
the compare all products link, which will take you tohttp://www.zonealarm..com/security/en-us/compare-anti-virus-spyware-so...
where you can download the free version.

The ease of use of ZA is great and it's a learning firewall. As it
starts it asks you about every in/outgoing connection, you tell it yay
or nay, and it creates a rule for it and never asks again.  You can tell
it to either allow, deny, allow once, or keep asking.  You can add your
own rules, etc, and control whether each program you have can access the
web or not. I like that because if I accidentally click a link in a
document, having no intention of even acessing the web, ZA will catch it
and give me a chance to set a rule for it.  Or you can list them all and
set each one manually.  Very handy, IMO.
   Downside: Will not co-exist with Norton firewall.  Neither one will
allow the other to be installed.  They have some kind of agreement to
disagree, apparently.

Sounds like oleary's experiencing something his namesake is so well
known for<g>.  I'll let it go at that.

HTH,

lol another
O'Leary's cow joke
or perhaps you are alluding to a bad trip trying to get my security
software issues resolved!
some Chicago comittee said the cow didn't do it.

lol, I lived in Chgo for 15 years but it was a different reference. Tim
O'leary was one of the biggies in the 60's around MillBrook NY that did
a lot of drug experimentation and politicked for legalization of
mairjuana. His farm is a museum now. Course, the cow/lantern works,
too!

I figured it was either a 'fire'-wall reference or the bad trip.
heard them both my whole life.
FYI it was Timothy Leary,
not O'Leary
still no answer to what was setting would let through mail but stop
the browsers
it would be nice to know what parameter controls this.
i saw no email tech support for comodo on their site.

see the answer. Got a friend with the same prob.
