Re: What security package for SBS?

Hi,

There is a basic netgear firewall in front of the network.
I wouldn't compare home network with SMB, especailly with services running
on open ports :P

Throw in a second nic and you have a firewall.. even a Linksys is
preferable to using the built in firewall in the a/v sofware.

I use the XP and Vista firewalls on the desktop and use two nics and
Linksys at home.

I agree with Claus on Trend but disagree with you on the Firewall issue.
Get a separate Firewall and don't rely on your AV product for firewall
protection.

I recommend Trend 3.6 for all my Clients. I disable the Personal Firewall
and use ISA or External Firewall Appliance.
