Re: Netguard - worth getting?

I used Netguard without a problem for a year or two and only when I set up a wireless home network did I have problems. The wireless connection worked flawlessly but no matter what I did I could not exchange files because Netguard simply rejected the action. I contacted Technical Support and was told that netguard did not support file sharing activity. Since file sharing is important on a home network then I abandoned Netguard in favour of Zone Alarm Security Suite. Like some people on this forum I experienced occassional slow down but when I upgraded to Version 6.5 (the latest) all my problems melted away.

It is possible that Netguard has improved since my experience so I recommend that you contact Technical Support and ask about file sharing over a wireless network.

I hope this feedback enables you to make the right decision for you.
