Hi all,
I want to get rid of NIS (AV and Firewall). I have feedback that
removing it can be a pain in the neck. Appreciate any hints as to the best
way i.e. start with Add/remove in the Explorer, than what??

When this is done (and if succeed), want to install Avast for AV and what
would you suggest for Firewall??

Your inputs appreciated
Paul

Personally I am using Sygate, but Kerio PF 2.1.5 is supposedly a better bet.
Let us know if you can't find the download for it.

Kerio 2.1.5 is my usual recommendation for ME - you'll have to Google for
it, though as I don't think it's available any more from the Kerio (or
Sunbelt) site.

Sygate has been taken over by Symantec...so guess will go to
Kerio.
Cheers, Paul

It's perfectly allright to choose Kerio over Sygate, but merely the fact
that Symantec has taken over Sygate, doesn't mean it is less in
effectiveness. I have no sqabble with it, since it's doing a wonderfully
good job for me.
