Sygate Firewall??

Oct 10, 2008 3 Replies

About 7-yrs ago, my son built me a Win98 computer for my birthday. I have been running Sygate Pro v5.5-2710 on it with excellent results. Today I found out that my son and daughter are building up an XP computer for my birthday, again.



Does anyone know is Sygate Pro v5.5-2710 can be run on an XP box?? If so, did you encounter any problems with it?? Thank you, Casey


On Windows 98, you don't need a "Personal Firewall" at all.

Fortunately, there is no Sygate any more. You don't need it anyways: just use the build-in Windows-Firewall.

Yours, VB.

Thank you both very much. Casey

The advice you received in grc.techtalk is mostly misguided! Consider carefully what is posted here and do some more research; And pay attention to RootKit's caution!
