Kerio and Sygate are much better than Zonealarm.
Sygate costs, so it's automatically disqualified.

Kerio is a good firewall, better than the regular Zonealarm, but I've found it has a difficulty of use that most novice users can't seem to grasp. I've always recommended Zonealarm, and will continue to do so.

A firewall is only as good as it's settings, and Kerio's are difficult to manipulate by some users.

Plus, TSS recommends ZoneAlarm. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And in truth, no software firewall is completely safe. If you really want protection, you need a router with built in hardware firewall. These I find to be excellent. As usual, Lynxus makes the best easily.
