Default [Information] New Firewall in Town

I have been a zone alarm and sygate fan for years, But i downloaded Webroot's Firewall a month ago to test it out and I have to say by far one of the easiest, newbie proof Firewalls. Very easy to use and only uses 7 megs of ram. It has a 30 day trial. I am getting more impressed with webroot with every new program they put out. Yes it's 20 bucks but somtimes you get what you pay for

I have used Webroot software for some time now (mainly Window Washer) and I like it. If the new firewall is anything like as good as their previous products then I might ditch Sygate and give it a whirl.

EDIT: Links added.

Thanks Hengis, Brain must of had a flood? Don't know why I didn't put link's in there. Think when we forget things like that we should get a tech point taken away that way we will remember :-D.. Only I would have minus points and no one would trust my judgment

Update...there are some bugs in the program... Dang it if after you buy it it starts messin on ya.. I was wondering why I was sending so much info out.. I really dont look and my modem, but I was today and it was sending away... I opend the program control and everyting was set to accept anyting from the internet even though I forbid it to.. So i thought I would put Zone Alarm back in just to see if it was my imagination,, and nope send signal yet? I emailed em about this, will post back with the response..
