We’ve been running a Sunpoll on our corporate site last week, asking the following questions:
What’s your position on Desktop Firewalls on all your user’s workstations?
| WinXP SP2 is good enough for me | |
| Already run a third party firewall on the desktop | |
| Don’t have one, but want to/should have one | |
| Don’t have one, not interested | |
| Other |
The results were as follows:

Note that we think that these results would bias toward IT managers, because a) the way the question was asked and b) because a lot of IT people come to our site. Again, without putting more science out there, it’s really more of a gimmick.
But that leads to the next question — what’s your favorite software firewall?
I got a list off of www.antionline.com and started culling it to represent current popular products:
- Sygate (recently acquired by Symantec)
- Zone Alarm
- Outpost
- Kerio
- Tiny
- Norton
- BlackIce
- McAfee
Let me know your thoughts.

The software industry is one of the world’s fastest growing industries
with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars.
A lot of people have already made their personal fortunes from this
rapidly growing industry.
All this means that it’s now the perfect time for you to start your
own software business.
You’ve just discovered the secret source for a complete range of
ready-made software tools, all of which can be private labeled with
your own details and then sold to generate a lucrative income.
