I had used this software on a previous laptop, so when I needed something for my Intel Mac running Tiger, I turned here first. I paid my $25 to get it running on the desktop system, but that was definitely a mistake.
This software does not work anymore. For example, the firewall does not install itself as part of the boot process: you have to run the software each time, authenticate yourself, and hit "install."
If you're looking for something that works on a modern system, I'd recommend <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/24156">Firewall Builder.</a>
IMHO, it is not exactly honest of Mr. Brian D. Hill, the developer, to be still taking money for software he is clearly not supporting anymore. (Yes, I did run the demo version before forking over my money, but only after using it for a while did I realize how bad it really is.)

You're trying to use it on an Intel Mac, but it doesn't list Intel Macs as being supported.Reply to This
