Firewalls

[Guest]

I have McAfee personal firewall plus and I just downloaded Kerio personal
firewall. Not too long ago I had a physical memory dump. Should I be
running both firewalls? McAfee also asked me if I wanted it to be the
default security. What should I do?

No, you should not be running both firewalls. Choose one or the other
and uninstall the one you don't want.

Not really sure which one to pick. I pay $20 for the Sun Belt firewall.
Anyone have any ideas on which one to choose?

Never run more than one firewall software/application at a time. You
really need to have an appliance if you want some reasonable level of
security.
