| 1105803 | 2010-06-01 12:17:00 | I am Running XP Pro and using Avast Amti Virus. Any thoughts on the best free Firewall at present. I'm tossing up between ZoneAlarm, Comodo, & Sygate. Or plain-jane windows firewall? |

| 1105806 | 2010-06-01 21:14:00 | I like Comodo myself | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1105807 | 2010-06-01 21:18:00 | Comodo is what I use. | PinoyKiw (9675) | ||
| 1105808 | 2010-06-01 21:28:00 | Unless you have paid for it I would recommend ditching Avast and running MSSE with Windows Firewall. This setup works well for me |

| 1105812 | 2010-06-01 23:11:00 | I use Comodo. And I want to know everything that is trying to connect from my PC, and I stop everything possible no matter how legit it is, Its also a good indicator of crap that has installed itself to run in the background for no other reason then to suck up resources and report to its masters, and that is the "legit" crap. |
