CrazyDawg,

not at all. kerio Sunbelt firewall was doing that to me too while it was learning - but not one intrusion got by it. If i ever get a credit card it will be my first purchase - will say it is the best firewall I've tried  Right now I/m using Comodo but so far I'm not even impressed - sofar it's  been like a guarddog who just watches while dingos steal the baby.

Ya Avast I heard of it but something on their page steered me away from it - it might be useful for cyber-shatenjaegering though if someone wre wreckless enough to actively seek out site with viri . ..   I'll look back into it. 

ok Comodo just caught something (must of overheard me.)
