Ok, this news is a little bit older but I did not notice it yet on other websites including ours. My favourite firewall Sygate Personal Firewall has been updated to version 5.0, Build 1113 and this firewall version is free for personal use. Click Read More to read what's new in the 5.0 version. Protocol Driver-Level Protection: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.0 provides protocol driver-level detection and blocking, which prevents malicious programs, such as Trojan Horse programs, from accessing the network using their own protocol driver Broadcast Traffic Filtering: Most broadcast traffic on the network is not intended for a specified system. By filtering out such traffic, Sygate Personal Firewall 5.0 improves the security and logging of network traffic. Enhanced IP Fragmentation Protection: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.0 better shelters a system from attacks involving IP packet fragments, which may halt or even crash a system. Auto Trojan Termination: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.0 will automatically terminate all known Trojan Horse programs before the Trojan attempts to communicate. Graphical Traffic & Attack Monitoring: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.0 incorporates real-time inbound & outbound traffic monitoring, real-time allowed & blocked traffic monitoring, network traffic history, and attack history in the graphical interface. And many more.
