Hi Fergie, I quite like the fact that Kerrio is light on sys resources as not
all my clients have grunty machines.  However, even though I'm no l33t haXor
(more a mere script kiddie with canned pen testing tools) I've been able to
defeat it.  As far as Zone Alarm is concerned: it is more demanding on sys
resources and not as configurable as Sygate Pro, or as informative as to
potential malicious action.

I've only just started testing Outpost (on a 32bit machine) and
Ghostwall (on a
64bit machine) but so far I'm quite impressed.  However, the collective
experience of this list is far greater than I could achieve in a lifetime so I
guess I'm asking what others have found to be the most difficult to breach and
featuresome.
