No firewalls are 'good with gaming'. Anything that monitors network activity is obviously going to draw a certain amount of bandwidth from it, and therefore slow everything down (although on fast connections, it mightn't be noticable).

Well anybody who surf the net must have a firewall. I use the Zone alarm firewall. A firewall will help you keep trojans and viruses at bay. Even trojans infect your comp they can't send info out without your knowledge.
QUOTE I use Norton. I guess it's good since I haven't got hacked yet . Every once in a while it says it's blocked a trojan attack, but I assume it was probably just some program trying to use a common trojan port. There are very few common ports unless your comp is on a local network using ports to connect. Normally a comp will have the http (80,8080),ftp(21),email ports on. If any program tries to use some other unknown port then it may surely be a trojan. Do you use any p2p software. If so it maybe the prog which use other ports. |

Norton Antivirus. I have a router for my home network so there's no need for a software firewall.
Check for update for windows frequently. |

I've been using MCafee antivirus + firewall for ages but now... if I update it, it crashes every time it starts! ;_; Luckily the firewall still works...

I use Norton Antivirus, although the subscription has run out
I would recommend Adaware also...yea, i know its for spyware, not to protect you from viruses, but its still on the "destroying badness" theme... |
