| 868711 | 2010-03-21 02:50:00 | This link : www.matousec.com could help you. | PPp (9511) | ||

| 868713 | 2010-03-22 07:23:00 | Hi PPp,having just had a look at the link you provided,I'm left wondering who Matousec are and how reliable are their findings... they certainly have shaken up my beliefs as to which anti virus/firewall to use ... anyone else have trouble believing what they see? cheers ruup |

| 868714 | 2010-03-22 15:23:00 | looks pretty accurate to me after what I.see on a range of forums. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 868715 | 2010-03-22 17:42:00 | So they reckon Nod 32 is useless despite findings on here by our own techs, and it's old news it still has Windows live one care. I will stick with what I have now Nod 32 and MSSE on the spare machines | gary67 (56) | ||
| 868716 | 2010-03-22 20:35:00 | So they reckon Nod 32 is useless despite findings on here by our own techs Remember, Matousec is testing the firewalls/security - not Anti-Virus. AFAIK, the Eset firewall is pretty useless. You're best just to get the AV and use something else as a firewall. |

| 868717 | 2010-03-23 00:18:00 | Outpost is effective small foot print bidirectional and very configurable, used it in the past. http://free.agnitum.com/ If running Windows 7 for "home" use you don't need a 3rd party solution with increased overhead, the built in firewall is by far MS best effort. www.brighthub.com This article covers a fair bit including rules, worth a read if you go this way. |

| 868718 | 2010-03-23 05:48:00 | looks like outpost free has been updated. hope its just not a reskin job. the old free one was well past its used by date. this new one should be well worth trying. | tweak'e (69) | ||
