You have got to be ******** me! Do you work for Symantec or what? Norton's and the majority of other AV products BLOW DOG. I prefer Grisoft's AVG simply because it's reliable and, wait for it (queue drum roll) - It's FREE for personal use. I guess this will only last till they decide to get greedy like the rest of 'em (once they build a user base up). Anyway, this article is about F-Secure+ VPN not friggin AV, so who gives a **** if your box got eaten by a horde of virii, worms or what have you.
I'll certainly give the VPN server a go. RRAS on my dodgy Win2003 server install is broken (I had the same problem with Win2K) and it's an easier option to try this than go through a server re-build. If I have to go down that path, I think I'll go with Linux which is what my firewall is running and it never gives me any greif.

Hey, Grega! F-Secure has the BADEST Antivirus protection ever! I've used it for a while, and switched fast over to Norton's solutions, because their much more polite and stable.

F-secure are the best articles ever. I had many viruses in my machine, and I had installed Norton 2004. Norton didn´t discover, that more than 1000 of files on my hard drive were infected by win32Parite/b virus. Maybe it did, but too late, I deleted it when F-secure said that computer is infected. I installed trial version of F-secure 2004, and after restart, anti-virus foudned the viruses. it discovered a Trojans (host.dll) and more. I still cannot believe, that this anti-virus is so strong. I was thinking that Norton is the best. I was checking the internet and I found this product. I smile and said- this one is bad!, but I tried anyway. From now on, this anti-virus is my favourite product. I told my friends about it and they were surprised. That anti-virus is quick, carefull, nice and most important-strong. I decided to buy full version on F-secure anti-virus 2004. It really is- a good keeper of my PC. Itœ cool. It doesn´t take many hard drive space, it is quick, strong... In one sentence- F-secure is the BEST PROTECTION :)

Microsoft's Built-in VPN Solution


Michael Norian's Lab Comparative: "VPN Gateways" (April 2001) is in-depth and comprehensive. However, I want to clarify one inaccuracy in the article.


The sidebar "What About Win2K?" implies that the Windows 2000 built-in VPN solution requires Active Directory (AD) and a Win2K domain. Not so: The built-in VPN solution doesn't require either. Although AD provides optimal manageability, you can use the built-in VPN solution on its own. Because it's well integrated into the OS, the built-in solution lets IT provide a markedly improved user experience in situations such as dialing in to the corporate network.


Microsoft offers an industry standard IP Security (IPSec) client in Win2K Professional and comprehensive VPN solutions in Win2K, Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000, and Small Business Server 2000. Microsoft's VPN solutions let remote users access a private network across the Internet, permit a remote office to connect to the corporate network through a persistent connection or an on-demand router-to-router VPN connection, and enable businesses to build an extranet to communicate securely with business partners. Customers can choose to deploy IPSec-based VPNs that integrate with Windows environments and provide transitional support for older Windows platforms through PPTP. I encourage readers to consider these integrated options when they look for a VPN solution.
