Firewall Software (LYN official software poll results & comments)

Bold: freeware

Note: Only one Personal Firewall should be installed to your system. This also includes the Firewall on Internet Security Suites. Always uninstall one before installing another. System Reboots required. Windows default Firewall should always be disabled when using a Personal Firewall software. Installing more than one Personal firewall could very much corrupt your Internet connection, cause very slow speeds or even corrupt Windows in general.

If you have anything else that you would like to add to this list, please reply to this thread.

currently trying winpooch 0.5.10, which i realize hv smaller memory footprint than kerio pf v 2.1.5 and more choice.
winpooch = 29xxK - 30xxK
kpf v2.1.5 = 4xxxK - 5xxxK (somewhere around that)
d only issue is it doesn't hv any manual, n tips only done briefly. with default filter setting, u wont get anywhere. oh yes, its freeware

Btw, those listed are personal firewall applications. For Enterprise I suggest Microsoft Internet Security and Accelerator Server 2000/2005/2006.

ZA memory hungry resources.

maybe u could try freeware "jetico"

see result the link below;
http://www.firewallleaktester.com/tests.php

as for antivirus result;
http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2006_05.php

i am using NOD32 now(i wiuld rate this 2nd best)
...using less memory resources as compared to Kaspersky(the best as many people attest)

definitely...to avoid crashing your PC.

NOD32, is incorporated as an AntiVirus and a Firewall together?

So if I'm using NOD32's AV, I wouldn't have to get a Firewall, would that be right?

ZA seems not popular now...and I also don't like the software now too..since the startup takes some time ...and I need to wait around 1-3 mins before I can start my work

...

anyway...what other firewall software you guys using...and whats your guys recommendation? I've tested Outpost..but...damn, too much rules to set

...and the interface it's not really friendly
