Why is it that after ver. 4.3.268, every other update Sunbelt got out to the light of day has been a catastrofe after another???
I mena every one is having some kind of trouble with every new release and, don't get me wrong, I like the firewall and trust my computer with it, BUT every other software making company are working there as...s off to try and give its customers the best software possible, EVEN THOSE WHO DON'T CHARGE FOR IT!!!!! so........ what are whe getting from Sunbelt that is so worth our money when we are using a version of software that has been arround for almos TWO YEARS without a decent update????
Doesn't anyone at Sunbel see that threats have evloved A LOT during that period of time and that there firewall (which is no FREE btw) is getting VEEERY OLD ??

And Thus the question???? WHERE IS THAT MUCH NEEDED REAL AND WORKING UPDATE OF THE FIREWALL WHE AL PAY FOR???????????

Don't hold your breath

I was watching my grass grow today. Quite exciting! Anyway, I have this horrible feeling that this firewall has gone the way of the dodo.

I just read this at Sunbelt.com "...Vista support for SPF is coming in September 2007" it was on the firewalls page, so...... September??!!!!!!

Here's the whole paragraph:
"30-day money-back guarantee
Compatible with: Windows 2000, Windows XP (All), Vista 32 support for SPF is coming in September 2007. This offer includes one year of upgrades, updates, new definitions and tech support by phone, from real people based in the U.S. You can add additional years of protection for only $9.98 each. Below is the comparison of the "free" vs. the "full" mode. Believe us, with the crime rates on the Internet skyrocketing, you really want to get the full version of SPF."

It's at the bottom of this page: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Home-Home-Office/Sunbelt-Personal-Firewall/

Thanks, I see it now. Don't really believe it do you ? With no real update to the Firewall for about 18 mths I am getting worried about the quality of Sunbelt's other products such as CounterSpy. Spyware is getting very clever at beating the anti-spyware programs. I know this is a SPF forum but does anyone share my concerns ? & is there a CounterSpy forum ?

I think I'm going to cut my losses with sunbelt. Their statements are empty and they have condemned a once great firewall.

I haven't tried very many of the other software firewalls out there, so I'm not sure what's good or not. I have read a number of reviews and many of them are dated. Some even go as far to say Sunbelt Firewall is great, which frightens me, as I know this to be false, based on my own experiences.

If anyone has any suggestions or can point me to some valid information, forum, review, etc, it would be much appreciated.

Folks: The Sunbelt Personal Firewall is a more stable, more robust firewall today than it ever was before.

Numerous enhancements have gone into this product. While you haven't seen any cosmetic improvements, there have been vast optimizations underneath the hood.

Vista? Yes, it's really tough. Really. But we're almost there.

In the future, if you're not happy with the product, feel free to ping me directly.
