DigDug Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 greets all I've just done a clean install of XP and was wondering which of these 2 firewalls offer better security. Zone Alarm 4.5.530 or BlackICE 3.6 :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Not even a choice. Zone Alarm. Exspecially version 4.5. The new 5 version is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozzi Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I switched from ZA to Outpost, it uses less ressources and is more customizable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohlican Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Try Norton Personal Firewall or Symantec Internet Security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ae3 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 ZA - works well, not had any problems with it at all...... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigDug Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Try Norton Personal Firewall or Symantec Internet Security. i dont have any of those apps. thats why i asked ZA or BlackICE. :p i think i'll go with Zone Alarm.

burgen Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Sygate personal firewall, especially when you have network printers, ZM will be more difficult to config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delm Korval Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Definitely Zone Alarm. Security Suite seems to be pretty good at the moment. I've tried all the different versions and it seems to balance the best. Especially like the anti-virus as I ran a 568 virus archive to test it (not on my main computer of course :blink: ) and it found and rectified all of them. Hey, what else could you ask for?
