There a Freeware Firewall out there?

Kerio is starting to nag me about my trial expiring...

When your trial expires you only lose the popup blocker thingy. (and some other web feature that also sucks)

Disable the "web filtering" function -- double-click the Kerio icon to call up the configuration menu, click on the "Web" tab on the lefthand side, and uncheck all of the boxes under the "Ad blocking" tab (along the top). That should kill the nag and set it into reduced functionality mode (exactly the same, but without the popup blocking, which you probably have other ways of dealing with).

(EDIT: Clarified position of the "Ad blocking" tab.)

Kerio 2.1.5 is a great free packet filter for windows.

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. ... If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. ... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus


Fear is the mother of all gods.

Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods. -Lucretius
