Paying for the firewall again the antivirus is a big problem. Zone Alarm is suposed to be good enough. Even the free version. And soon I am going to get PC-Cillin internet security

zone alarm is THE most crappiest piece of software you can ever use. together with the illusion of being the easiest to use, it gives you the least protection and conflicts with a plethora of other programs.
Old versions of Kerio were some of the best ever created. I didn't like the newer versions so I switched over to Tiny. Outpost firewall also seems pretty good, but was very resource hungry back when I used it. I may try it again to see if they have fixed that. |

For some strange reason i have a lot of firewalls. But one I'll say i use is sygate personal firewall. It's free and i might as well try it and its...ok. Not the best but its free. I use some others but Sygate personal firewall is the one i usually use. It also gets pretty annoying at times asking if access should be granted to your computer. But it also has a feature where you can allow all programs trying to access your computer.

Nortons Internet Security, Mcaffe Firewll, and Windows XP's built-in firewall. However my favorite iss Norton's Internet Security, I games off it perfectly safely, and easily without adjusting any settings, it is very good, it also has alot of other things like pop-up and spam blockers... .

i use the one that's built in with microsoft, so i don't really know which one that is. it appears not to work well at all. i've got all kinds of crap installed on my computer from the internet - one of which uses like 100% of my processor until i kill it. so i think i should look into something other than the microsoft one. it should prevent all that adware from being installed, i think!!

I've never had a firewall before. I am thinking of trying out Zone Alert. Been hearing good stuff about it. I don't know what exactly is suppose to do though, does it hide your IP from people who ping you or limit your upload speed?

I use a windows built-in firewall, I can't really be asked to get a newer firewall. I could get a new one but then again, windows firewall has always been loyal to me and always done it's job so I'll keep it.
