I didn't see a current topic that addressed this particular situation, but the drift I get from the archived msgs is: for noncommercial home use, whether on 1 standlone computer or several networked, the 4.x Home will suffice.
I'm coming up on renewal of my Symantec firewall and want to drop them due to concerns similar to what has come out about Zonealarm (backdoors intentionally put there by the manufacturer).
I have 3 computers running Win98se networked on a Linksys wired router using a DSL connection.
I would have already upgraded to XP but the 3 computers we have are 5+ years old and upgrading would mean buying 3 new machines
.
Thanks in advance, I just heard about avast for the first time on another forum talking about the Zonealarm scandal.
