Firewall Head to Head - two new releases

August 30, 2006 in Software | Permalink

Screengrab_14 It must be close to Autumn. Around this time of the year we seem to see an influx of security releases from all the major security developers. McAfee Internet Security 2007 has been released in the States and is expected shortly in the UK, Symantec are beta-testing a version of Norton Internet Security 2007 and Panda have just released their AntiVirus 2007.

We all need a firewall to protect our system from intrusion when we connect to the Internet. Many of us choose to rely on a hardware firewall, built-in to our broadband or cable router. Others do not have the luxury of a hardware firewall and some feel 'safer' with the addition of both a hardware and software firewall installed.

Either way, two new free firewalls have recently been released. First up is Ashampoo's brand new Ashampoo Firewall 1.00 and the other is Jetico Personal Firewall 2.0.0.7. Both highly-recommended and from established developers. Check them out.
