Hot Brick Software Firewall

[Prasanna M <PrasannaM () catsglobal co in>]

Hi

I am trying the Hot Brick s/w firewall (for personal use) for the past few
days. I have found that it shows a lot of "denied" traffic in its list - and
this list is quite extensive and some among the list have close to 1000
attempts in a day or so. 
I have been using Sygate before and the denied list was quite small,
compared to now.
I am wondering if Hot Brick is generating a lot of false positives, and
maybe  I should switch back to Sygate again? i dont see the network icon
showing any  network traffic, but the firewall is going red like there is no
tomorrow! 

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreaciated.

Thanks
Prasanna
