I removed sygate and installed outpost (which migrated to 30 days trial
after update) next zonealarm. Now I want go back to sygate. What was last
version of Sygate Personal firewall Pro (pspf.exe)?
The same question about signatures.

pspf.exe was removed from sygate sites. Signatures also.
The newest I found was:
5.5 build 2710
signature: 1.0.1066

If someone needs original sygate pro from good source here it is:
http://dl23.sygatetech.com/pub/bws/bws_49/pspf.exe
This link survived symantec clenaup.

If someone has newer sygate or signatures and would like to share give me a
sign and I will send real e-mail address for upload.

I believe the last officially released Sygate Pro version was 5.5.2710.
So you appear to have it. There are various Pro 5.6 beta's and debug
builds floating around and available if you're so inclined to experiment
with them. You can find a few related posts on Wilders, along with
download links:

Some of the members of the Sygate forums have moved and now reside at
Wilders so you may be able to obtain more info from them.

How long would it be "safe" to run Sygate when it is no

How long would it be "safe" to run Sygate when it is no
longer being updated - program or signatures?

Sygate offers strong security as a firewall for most users.

adaware software and you'll be safe.

Sygate will learn from you if updated
signatures are not available.

No.

Sygate does install system services which open Windows. This is a security
breach, and shows, that they never read the documentation of Microsoft for
developing system services, and that they're understanding nothing about
security with Windows at all.

adaware software and you'll be safe.

This is ridiculous.

signatures are not available.

What a b0rken concept. Don't you think, that the provider of security
software should know MUCH MORE about security than the only one, who
knows _completely_ _nothing_ in this game, the user?

I said for most users.

I use sygate since long time and never have problems
with it.

I know about examples of code that auto clicks buttons on screen,
but in real world such appliaction from Internet must pass firewall,
antivirus and webrowser like firefox which do not use activex scripts.

And such worm must support particular firewall.

firewall+antivirus+adaware can keep box safe in general.

Blame Mr. Gates, not me, for system design.

If windows do not obey standards why software written for it should?

Are there any workarounds?

Microsoft writes here:

------------------------------------- snip ---------------------------------
"Important: We strongly recommend that services do not run as interactive
services if the services run in an elevated security context such as SYSTEM.

For the Windows user interface, the desktop is the security boundary. Any
application that is running on the interactive desktop can interact with any
window that is on the interactive desktop, even if that window is not
displayed on the desktop. This behavior is true for every application,
regardless of the security context of the application that creates the
window and regardless of the security context of the application that is
running on the desktop. The Windows message system does not allow an
application to determine the source of a window message.
------------------------------------- snap ---------------------------------

Exactly this misbihaviour you can see with Sygate and with Outpost,
for example.

What OS?

Windows OSes, the NT based ones (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows 2003).

What services?

The SYSTEM services, the "Personal Firewalls" are installing themselves.

Are there any workarounds?

Yes. You don't need a "Personal Firewall". Just use the Windows-Firewall.

VB.

Thank you both.
