What are you using and do you like it? If so why and if not, why not?

I'm @!%$#$#!$!$##! ahem.. irritated. The company that made my BlackIce program was bought out by IBM, apparently, and now it is being phased out- no more BlackIce.

I really liked that firewall and had the least amount of trouble with it over the years.

Hubby is going to blank my system and re-install windows (and replace my old OLD OLD 20 gig hd with a 320- and yes, I do currently have another larger hd than that 20g in my pc) and that means reinstalling my firewall but it's been a few years since I got it and they aren't supporting it after this year so I think I want to go with a new one. Hubby's got ZoneAlarm and likes it... I've never been fond of it but may end up trying it.
