RE: personal firewalls

I've used both BID and ZA. I like ZA's outbound protection, and supposedly
Zone Labs will be adding a logging feature to ZA soon.

I am doing a research survey of personal firewall products.
I have information on:

  Black Ice Defender     - www.netice.com
  Raptor Mobile          - www.axent.com
  Zone Alarm             - www.zonelabs.com
  Internet Security 2000 - www.symantec.com

I am not really interested in privacy products which claim the name of
personal firewall such as:

  PC Secure (a secondary application sandbox)   - Software Builders
  Guard Dog (blocks cookies)                    - Cybermedia
  Lucent Personal Web Assistant (fakes cookies) - Lucent

Are there any products in the first category that I need to be aware of?

I can go on to say that unseen, I am leaning towards Black Ice for its
good reviews and ability to log to a central database console.

I appreciate your assistance. See you at Sans.
