what is the best firewall


Recommended Posts

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.

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 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
