Outpost
Austin Shackles
Anysheddi been using Outpost firewall 2008 (version 6.summat)?
I've just ditched it and gone back to version 4. Noted system problems,
several occasions when it wanted to send a crash report, and to add insult
to injury when i tried to update to the latest version to see if it would
fix it, it hung on the reboot during installation, so I had to go into safe
mode and remove it.

We shall see. So far, at least one fault is not evident: after running
memory-intensive things, it was ending up in a state with SYSTEM using about
50% of the CPU and swapping like hootery, this despite the fact that
available unforgettory had not gone below about 40%. Only fix was a
restart.
it SEEMS like that isn't happening.
