  Compatable with other software

  by: purrfect davy on 28-May-2008 07:40:20 AM

  Pros: I have running guisofts virus checker and PC tools spyware Doctor and system mechanic, they bind perfectly well together with no conflict.

  I found other firewalls even though may be rated higher tend to have too many settings long winded in asking over and over the same questions. I am running XP Home and connect to the internet with a cable modem. PC Tools firewall plus is perfect for my usage.
