Hi,

M problem is that Ositis discontinued the WinProxy product. At this point
I'm looking for a replacement. Looks like ICS is out. It seems my choices are
UserGate or a hardware based solution that supports integrated virus checking
(in which case I belive only SonicWall offers a somewaht affordable product).
Of course there is also a product from D-Link that appears to be an in-line
virus checker (DSD-150).

Does anyone have experience with either of the products?
