liar2 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I personally don't mind using the built in firewall for XP Pro. You should just use that. There is no need to get software that you don't really need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septimus Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Try Kerio. Its free as well and better than the MS one. Although I prefer ZoneAlarm. www.kerio.com/uk (or us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1n$an3 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I would go with either ZoneAlarm or Sygate Personal Firewall. They are both very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxBoy Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 If you trust yourself and monitor what you install closely, the one that comes with XP is fine. But if you install a lot of stuff, then you'd better go with ZA or Sygate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinh Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Use Zonealarm and you should be set. Firewalls arent really needed, its just a safe piece of mind. Do a search for firewalls and you should get a few threads talking about firewalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thollian Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Zonealarm....was using Windows one...but got ZA, and its allot better...able to control what I want to connect to the internet...and it blocks ads!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger187 Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I love my Personal Firewall from Symantec..I get attacks daily (*******s)...and I need to be able to have different settings for different programs (for online gaming, etc..) just my opinion..
