Agreed. Yes, comodo firewall pro is free actually.

currently using VISTA FIREWALL
dont really know how to test it ?
any guide how to test it ?

Comodo Firewall Pro is free. They make money by actually certifying programs and/or websites...meaning if a company wants to have a proof that their websites are malware-free, they'll turn to Comodo for certification...some sort of industrial certification company. Just like how THX certifies cinema that have excellent audio & video installations and space design.

i'm on PC Tools Firewall, i must say it's a good Firewall comparing with ZoneAlarm because, i've got false alarm (like i told you guys earlier in other thread), with this, even after installed Ares, there's no incoming/outcoming connection, when no internet activity, there're really no internet activity... , not sure if it something to do with Ares, because, i also re-download Ares from it's site

yup.i agreed with you.i also use PC Tools Firewall.user friendly and not so difficult to manage.conclusion,easy and safe...

but i had this problem, i don't when it happened, how it happened, but FYI, when the firewall (PC Tools Firewall) enable, i can't logon to the net, and i have to disable it (the firewall) to get myself on the net, any ideas? the problem gone when i fresh re-install until now...

Try changing the allow all IP setting in the settings... My friend have a same problem like you. I don't face it, however.

i didnt face that problem...maybe some settings had changed that result blocking the connection

I am using Sygate personal firewall for quite a long time now. then Symantec go take over the company, and result the firewall is no longer updated. I have used ZA, but that firewall makes my unstable, with 0x0000 errors and truevision error thing. I like the sygate's idea of firewall, with the capability to trace back the attack. Anyone can recommend me a free firewall, which is like sygate where you can see individual programs, and program roots etc, apps. I am still using this firewall now.

Besites ZA and Sygate I think the only firewall left should be outpost? Hmm... My memory towards firewall seem to be deterioriating.

guys any free firewall to recommend for my company?
i thk comodo or those sygate is all personal rite

how big is your company ?
if just few pc
then using personal firewall will do

if it's just a small company then software firewalls should be okay...
If it's a co-operate or comercial company go for router firewall / hardware firewall.

i should also add that a hardware based firewall can be very cheap nowadays especially if protecting less than 10 users. It can be cheaper than the software but functionality is very rigid to being a stateful inspection box...i.e. go /no-go.

Well, it might be cheaper. I'm not sure about the pricing.
If it's really cheaper then HF is way to go.
But large institutions usually use hardware firewalls right?

sygate personal firewall kill my internet. download file corrupt. i think windows problem but it sygate.

now using mc afee personal firewall.

They will always use Hardware Firewalls. The reasoning is simple: They use multiple Switches and Routers. The Central Router(Top of the Router Pyramid) that is directly linked to the internet will have a hardware firewall integrated into it. Most Routers have a HF built in it.

Cheers!

even adsl router have simple/basic firewall function..

hi,
does anyone know of a good alternative firewall to the windows firewall that will work on Vista Home Basic. I do not have much confidence in the built-in one.
