    If you do go with Sygate do it quick. Symantec (the new owners) have already announced it will be discontinued.

    I just checked and could not find a download link for it anymore on the Sygate/Symantec site. New owners - Grrrr!

      Fed,
      Doesn't it still need to be registered to run ? ?
      If so has that site been taken down ?

          Patio, I don't think it has to be registered, let me know if you find out.

          Shouvik, which part of this don't you understand?
          Here is the site http://207.33.111.31/spf/
          Here is the file spf5.5b2710.exe

          Is that you Flame?  :D

            GX_1, it looks like Ztree is only good for 30 days.  :(

                Shouvik, give it a run & let us know if it has to be registered?

                    A condensed but memorable saying embodying some important fact of experience that is taken as true by many people.

                    I guess it is.  :D

                      Fed:

                      I downloaded it and yes it asked for registration, but there were also a "register later" button and when i clicked that button,
                      the firewall started running, without requiring me to input any information.
