396482 2005-10-15 06:32:00 Can anyone recommend good Firewall???

Reason why I ask is because when I installed Norton Internet Security 2005 it prevented me from seeing program list in Add or Remove programs. If the program list did appear it took about 5 minutes to see. After I removed Norton Internet Security 2005 was able to see Add or Remove programs list straight away.

I will second to that . Check out Sygate Personal Firewall as well . There had been various threads created regarding good recommendation of the firewalls, search for them via the search function . :cool:

Zone Alarm is a piece of CRAP. There is no way to set up a manual port forward which means it can't limit search results in P2P programs etc. If your using a P2P program, you probably arn't even aware its limiting your results or download speeds.


Sygate is a good personal firewall, fully configurable and doesn't act annoy you constantly.

oh and I third the "get rid of Nortons" OMG there security suit is a resource pig.

396488 2005-10-16 08:20:00 I would like to recommend Agnitum Outpost - free edition (www.agnitum.com). It is easy to setup and configure and will suit most home users needs. Jen (38)
