    Also consider Net Protector 2013; it's an awesome Total Security product comes with cheap price.

    486 CPUs (80486 with full name) came 1989, even before Pentium I. The Pentium 4 is 7th generation.

    To end the game now, here the history of the Smoothwall with used hardware since November 2000:
    In end of 2000 I installed the first version of Smoothwall Express Beta on an MB from VTI Vextrec Technology, a GMB-486sg v2 with AMD-X5-133ADW CPU, 256MB Ram (4 x 64MB 72 pin)and 2 GB Seagate SCSI HDD.
    Changed in 2001 to Smoothwall Express 0.9.9 and in 2003 to Smoothwall Express 2.0
    In 2005 replaced the burned MB with an Asus P4S8X-MX and an Pentium 4 1.d GHz CPU and 512MB Memory which was replaced after an Power chock about a year later with an Asus P4P800, 3.2GHz CPU and 1 GB Ram which lasted till 2011.
    The last and now running MB is an PC Chips P21G V. 3.1 with Socket 775 and P4 3.06GHz CPU.


    The now running Smoothwall Express is now Version 3 SP2 on my machine.


    Fact is, that Smoothwall 2 still could run on an low powered x86 machine like the one I used in 2000. The System Requirements are very low and the OS it runs on is Linux based, stripped down to the need of Smoothwall.


    For the latest version Smoothwall 3 SP3 the requirement are:

    • Any Pentium class CPU and above – with a recommended minimum of 128MB RAM, works well with 64MB RAM
    • 64bit build for Core 2 systems

    Lol who you think you are?, the forum owner or what...anyway, it started because of you being a douche, between some of your retarded answers and the misinformation you provide in some threads, you need to relax a bit, you need to realize you're not that that smart and not everything in life is defined by a forum thread counter.

    I use Windows Defender (Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows 7 desktop) for real-time protection, and the free version of Malwarebytes to pick up anything Defender might miss.
