I just ordered a new computer and my subscription to Kerio runs out in about a month, should I load Kerio onto to the new computer or go to something else? Comodo is what I had in mind. Kerio has worked for me on one machine, but takes a forced load to get it to load onto my new laptop. There seems to be nothing new coming out of Sunbelt (kind of disappointing). I have Kerio on 5 computers, all new installations last spring. Was this a mistake? Three of these belong to non tech friends. One will not register, even though it is paid for and I have a key number. Should I change to something else as the licenses run out? If I change, is Comodo a good choice or what else is there. I run NOD32 for AV. It just sits there and does its thing, updating 2 or 3 times a day. Is there a firewall that will do the same thing?

Those are hard questions to answer without being directly involved with the systems.

SKPF runs very nicely on my system and I couldn't be happier. At the same time, I have seen others who had nothing but problems with it. If I were in the latter group I would have moved on long ago. As it is I will be renewing my license when it expires.

The lack of new releases doesn't particularly concern me. I can't think of any missing features that I would want to see implemented and don't consider increases in either size or resource usage as desirable tradeoffs for more bells and whistles.

I have also been lucky in that SKPF4 has always worked for me . SKPF4 has one of the best rule creation prompts going. For me, bug and vulnerabilty fixes are more important than new features.

I tried Comodo on two more computers, but can't seem to get the setup on my laptop configured correctly and so it can't get an IP address from the router. I have been fooling with it for sseveral days and finally loaded Kerio back on the laptop and now it works fine. I guess I will go with Kerio on the new machine, too. It now has Comodo, but I like to keepp everything the same as it makes life easier.
