A computer with an active Internet connection is exposed to a large variety of threats, be them malicious software or virtual attacks. If you consider that tools provided by your operating system are not strong enough, you can always look for alternatives. One of them is Sygate Personal Firewall Free and promises to keep private settings safe in a simple manner.

Sygate Personal Firewall Free is one of the old applications that used to set the bar when it came to computer security. The level of protection offered by this firewall is among the best and it is now the foundation of the 'Smart Firewall' you will find in Symantec's Norton Internet Security.

This firewall is based on Sygate Personal Firewall’s same IPD/IDS technology and provides you with robust online security. This firewall, included in the Norton Internet Security product, provides a simple, unified way to stay protected from online threats.

However, the application is only capable of running on versions of Windows until XP, making it obsolete for most modern computers. Still, if you're using an older machine that needs a simple tool to defend the computer, Sygate Personal Firewall can actually be the top choice.

Please note that since the developer is no longer making it available as a standalone product, Sygate Personal Firewall receives the default three-star rating, which doesn't reflect our opinion on the product.

Sygate Personal Firewall Free can still be of help for computers running older Windows versions. It does not take a lot of getting used to and is light on system resources. It is the backbone of modern firewall services nowadays, thus deserving a seat at the winners table.
