Title: Which Firewall is the best? Post by: zarustra on 15.11.06, 21:56:19 Hi pplz!
I have Win XP Home SP2 with the built-in firewall on, i think. Now I've heard, that this one would be really bad... :( Which is a good firewall then? Thanks! zarustra Title: Re: Which Firewall is the best? Post by: Rumak18 on 16.11.06, 07:55:50 Yeah, in fact, the internal windows xp firewall only controls inbound connections, but that is not all, that should be controled. This topic is also a debatable one, because many users state, that a router should be protection enough. Personally i use both. I recommend you a security suite like G-Data oder Bitdefender. Norton is still not bad.
Title: Re: Which Firewall is the best? Post by: +Flori+ on 16.11.06, 20:31:04 I think, that the ZoneAlarm Firewall is good. You can get it in a free version.
If you ask me about Internet-Securitys, the Kaspersky Internet-Security is the best. Title: Re: Which Firewall is the best? Post by: zarustra on 17.11.06, 16:51:25 I am not sure if I have a router :(
Where can I get the free zonealarm firewall? I went ti the zonealarm.com website and there to "download", but is has only buy and 15-days-trial versions :( Title: Re: Which Firewall is the best? Post by: nico on 17.11.06, 17:18:21 Hi zarustra,
there still is a free version, hidden well. Follow the link in our security tips at "download software": http://www.computerhilfen.com/tipps-en-security-safety-virus.php3 nico Title: Re: Which Firewall is the best? Post by: JoSsiF on 18.11.06, 17:00:53 Alternatively you could try Kerios Firewall. (http://www.computerhilfen.de/fachbegriffe-f-Firewall.html) I haven't tested it yet, however, it is said to be a good product.
The free version runs like the commercial one for the first 30 days, after that with limited (but sufficient) features. http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio-Download.cfm cheers 8) JoSsiF
