best defense = being vigilant, no really all you need is a good router, windows firewall with advance security + block list rules from peerguardian and kaspersky antivirus.

using Sygate Personal Firewall since 3yrs , no problems here.

Zone Alarm is also good.

I wud like to try Agnitum Outpost Firewall.

Howz Comodo Free Firewall compared to Zone Alarm PF.

Earlier, before taking DSL, my computer got internet through Ethernet where my LAN consisted about 100 or more computers. In those days, I trusted BlackICE and ZoneAlarm for protection.

Now that, I am connected to the internet using DSL, I use Windows built-in firewall with NAT/Router Firewall.

Also, McAfee Total Protection works good but it's a bit high on resources.

Before I used ZoneAlarm!

Now that I use mcafee ...

[BryanChung]

Anyone has any comments on Kaspersky Internet Security suite?

[SacrificialSoldier]

IMO None is just fine...

[BryanChung]

none is just fine? that bad? :p

[gazebee_]

I used to use Zone Alarm until I switched to Comodo-- it had better descriptions IMO.

[BryanChung]

Cause I am using Kaspersky's Anti Virus. Wondering to try their Internet Security or not.

[SacrificialSoldier]

I use a Cisco 611 As my firewall. Eliminating the need for bulky software. Otherwise I would use BlackIce

[psionicinversion]

I use N0d32 lightweight and has caught everything so far, pretty cool antivirus. Ive used norton mcafee zonealarm etc but i dont like them compared to this.

This is for firewall. Not Antivirus,

[BryanChung]

Seems like he got mix up :D

[psionicinversion]

ah yeah forgot. I never really used a firewall anyway, bloody waste of time. behind a router now dunno if that increases protection once, but didnt have a firewall running for over 2 years once nothing ever happened. Most trojans and stuff were detected by the antiviruses so its all good

[BryanChung]

=P I using Windows Firewall only for now.

Outpost is so nice

[Master Shake]

I've been using Comodo 3 beta for about a week or so on Vista and it seems to work pretty well so far.

[iOsiris]

Did you guys realize Comodo & Jetico are two of the better firewalls around? Especially Jetico, yet nobody knows about them and I guess their site isn't exactly the best looking either... But look up firewall security tests and you'll see they're actually above the rest.

here's a quick review of different firewalls

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a new and easy firewall for a XP SP2 installation.

I used Kerio 2.1.5 but I had few problems with my local network so I decided to remove it and I use XP firewall for the moment.

Which is the best free firewall for you ?
