Can't hurt. I don't use my router's firewall because it's hopelessly simple, either off, block all incoming (excluding port forwards), and block all (including port forwards). |

| 873838 | 2010-04-07 18:44:00 | I use pfSense (http://pfsense.org/) (version 1.2.3, embedded) for my home network, and iptables for everything else. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 873839 | 2010-04-07 22:30:00 | Hi... I'm setting up a Win XP computer, and am just wondering how to secure it. From the sounds of it, MS security essentials is what everyone's using, correct? Should I bother about a stand alone firewall or just leave it to the built-in Windows one? The computer is fairly old (1.4GHz Pentium M, 512mb RAM) so I don't want to stress it out too much Cheers Forrest Have a P3 lappie. I use AVAST and Zonealarm. :D |

| 873841 | 2010-04-08 09:59:00 | Well I was going to use MSE + Zone alarm on my wifes lappie but Zone alarm totally crashed Windows 7 so I ended up using the Windows firewall + MSE. | tutaenui (1724) | ||
| 873842 | 2010-04-08 10:11:00 | Not free but I have Eset Smart Security installed so using that at the moment. | xyz823 (13649) | ||
| 873843 | 2010-04-08 11:08:00 | Yeah likewise, MSE on the Win7 machines, plus NAT suffices on the router. No "firewall" specifically. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
