ZoneAlarm is definitely not the best firewall... heh far from it. However, most people are far too biased to give you an appropriate answer -most people will have only tried 1-3 firewalls.

I've only tried out Kerio 2.15, Kerio 4, Output, and the Windows Firewall in Windows. And from all of those, I found Kerio 2.15 to be the best, as it probably has the smallest memory footprint out of all the firewalls out there, and I've never run into a problem...it also has passed all security tests at pcflank.com, blackcode, auditmypc, and grc.

Try and stay away from firewalls that offer ad-blockers, cookie checkers, etc. if you don't need them.

ı am using agnitum outpost, it is really good...

[Lasker]

go for PC CILIN 2005 from trend Micro, is all in one, the best security u can find right now, they always update their antivirus software, everyday, and also I hear that trend Micro is the best security company for PC

I use Sygate Personal Firewall, works great, and havn't had any problems... :yes:

Outpost is the best, but not free!

Beat me :(

I was going to say air, if you just unplug your cables there's no way anyone is getting to you.

But shears would work too.

Kaspersky Anti Hacker...does what i need

I also like sygate although it doesn't have the smallest memory footprint.

I've use ZA, both Kerios, Norton, Mcaffee, I think Outpost, and it seems like one other.

I like the features and interfase of sygate the best. I had problems with Mcaffee not disabling when I told it to. Norton was sluggish and sloppy feeling. If I remember, both Kerios were just annoying for me.

the best firewal is a hardware firewall.

but what i reccomend is you download software ones and then take the ShieldsUp test.

my u.s.robotics router aced every test, complete stealth mode

Sygate Personal Firewall, been using it since the first instances of the msblast :)

[smart001]

Zone Alarm is the best that I have tried. I have not tried an abundance of them though. Just Aone Alarm, Symantec, McAfee, and the Windows Firewall.

Sygate

[Kilgore Trout]

I vote for sygate also....but rules and opening ports take a bit of learning curve

Outpost for me. Good interface though not free.
