I voted other as I use Sygate Personal Firewall Pro, its never let me down in the years I have used it.

[The Right Guy]

Im using my router as my firewall :) :yes:

Welp where is Sygate Personal Firewall? I used to use that firewall, but then I changed to Comodo to see what it's like, and it wasn't "all that" so I went back to Sygate. (Comodo uses more memory and resources than sygate (although it does protect against more) and also has a ghey UI and won't STFU asking me if my apps can connect to the internet.. I'VE TOLD YOU FIREFOX CAN CONNECT TO THE DAMN INTERNET, SO FO ASKING ME EVERY TIME I START FIREFOX WITH A DIFFERENT URL WHETHER IT CAN STILL CONNECT, YES, YES IT FRICKEN CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET THANKS)

Same, a router is enough for me :)

[Olly-]

I use Kerio Personal Firewall, what it was before it changed to Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall.

[#Michael]

My choice is for the new KAV internet security suite 6. Works great.

I removed it from the poll because I was under the impression that it's not on sale any more after they've been bought by Symantec. If this is incorrect, please let me know and I will re-add it.

[Toology]

Comodo was added. Good. :)

[way2quik]

You indeed are correct, it is no longer available as Symantec bought it out and abandoned it, pity really as its far superior to what they still offer currently :(

But that's just my opinion :)

Meltdown in progress.

[ThePitt]

ZA. Still good. But Im considering use another firewall with less resources...

[L3thal Veteran]

Windows Firewall + NAT router works for me.

[Robgig1088]

firestarter (in linux) is super good ;)

[Guest Jeremy of Many]

Hardware firewall and the human brain.

[Enzo Marinelli]

You should add Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0...

Please :(

[Aero Ultimate]

Outpost is clearly the best! :cool:

yellow + -> firewall quit, but protection is still given

red X -> firewall terminated, PC wide open to attacks

[halcyoncmdr]

I use Trend Micro, it's never let me down in the past, and a lot of the other firewalls I found too intrusive, such as Comodo.

[Enzo Marinelli]

Please :(

:cry: Really? No one else? :(

[Guest Jeremy of Many]

If you can afford a hardware firewall, then either get a router or a second machine and run a Linux distro on it.

If you can't, then use Outpost or Comodo.

Or go with neither and rely on computer sense (safety guidelines to prevent malicious infections/instrusions in the first place).

ZA 4.5 & Router Firewall

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

I still use my old kerio 2.1.5. ?Nothing is as small as kerio 2.1.5. Not even comodo that I've tried and completely crashed my xp install
