What proof
Actually, seeing no-one actually said that, I suppose that is a pointer towards you REALLY meaning that YOU cant make the prog do something therefore no-one can. IMHO, ZA has some good points in it. As I said before, it is easy as buggery to set up and has ways to fix stuff that make lief easier. One such example in a wi-fi network that would get internet through the router but not connect to shares was a mate of mine, needing to get out quickly, simply installed ZA on each Windows machine and attempted to access shares from one machine to the next and went to that other machine and added each manually set IP to the trusted list. That got the workers through OK until he had the time (after a few days skiing) to get back and fix it all properly. Bloody XP Pro and Home mix for some reason. I like it's ability to show "I KNOW hardware firewalls are better than software ones and WONT be told anything else because *I* know - don't you?" types the logs that ZA free edition, behind their hardware firewall, picks up of whatever comes it's way through the router without even upsetting a thing there. That doesn't mean that ZA stopped everything but there are SOME things stopped and logged so it is a cause for worry for them. They think they are safe. Clearly they arent safe behind their hardware firewall and once more I say "For every so-called security professional who THINKS a hardware firewall is all you need, there is a blackhat laughing behind your back". OK that was slightly altered but it gets the point across. > could I profer here? Some flawed benchmark? A video?

You take something too literally, and call people Actually, I would have to agree with him that it was you doing that. You either lied or exaggerated above as I pointed out.
