    Could anyone tell me what I would need to download/purchase in terms of firewalls for a small business/office network system? The computers will either all be braodband or run off a server and I was wondering what I needed to do to ensure that each one is protected.

    Any recommendations would be gratefully received.

    Many thanks

    Well, first off decide whether your going to run off a server or as individual stations. Either way my first and IMHO choice is Zone Alarm. Don't like McAfee as it is a resource hog,,good but,,, a hog. Don't much care for Noton's newer versions as it is also a resource hog and too much money anyway.

    Suggest A good spyware program ( I like Ewido anti Malware) Or the freebies AdAware and SpyBot search & Destroy. Don't have much faith In the new MS offerring( Defender) as it relies on IE to much.

    Although AVG( girssoft) And Avast are freebies that are also available Those versions are not as full featured as some of the other offerings like Kasperski or Bytedefender. Still they are a good choice if kept up to date. AVG does do a good job there.

    Cheers
