Haiz.... Still no news from Zone Alarm in compatible with Vista.... 3 weeks already since they made the announcement, now only got the beta version.

i wouldn't hold my breath if i were you. Any beta program will require at least 2-3months before it becomes RTM. Provided there are no major issues during beta trial.

you have to wait for some time.maybe there will be updates soon

I've tried comodo firewall...but it seems it blocked my LAN connections...I can't browse LAN connections if I on comodo...and seems can't find the settings @_@??...

been using pc tools firewall for quite sometimes, i just have the difficulties of connecting my YM, need to disable it first, connect to YM then enable it back...anyone know how to solve this?

A little curios here. Does anyone know how to prevent information from leaking to other Linux based online user?

I afraid that Linux based can view all sort of informations including password from MS Window user.

noob question from me.... Linux do not have any anti-virus??

Check the site once more (matousec.com). They've just recently updated it and you'll see how PC Tools firewall fare

To quote Softpedia review: "The application is designed for newbies that want to say to their friends they are behind a firewall, but experienced users will soon realize that this is not a too reliable firewall."

Can someone recommand me a firewall which can run under window 98 SE with 64mb ram ?

sygate firewall

Just knew that Zone Alarm finally has released its product for Vista... But too bad, i got problem during the installation, it said it is incompatible with Kaspersky Anti-Virus, it force me to uninstall it in order to install Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite....

But after i uninstall Kaspersky, and install ZA, errors occur again, my computer will hang, no response, i need to uninstall ZA in safe mode in order to keep my computer function well...

look at my siggy. proud ownwer of comodo

i'm using Kaspersky anti-hacker. it's good but some of my application (downloader) not running perfectly even i set it to 'allow all'. can anyone suggest me the good one n have a simple way to setting it..

thanks

hav u guys heard of any nForce Forcewar or nVidia Firewall software?

Nice? any comment on it ?

yup.. COMODO is the best for now, last time had been used ZA.. its so bad

I just installed COMODO firewall V2.4....

What I don't understand is Why my control panel security center Firewall, I only can enable Windows Firewall or my Bitdender Firewall...
"ON"

COMODO can not be enable ??

I m using bitdefender virus shield V9, is it OK ? I know V10 is quite popular,burt how about V9 ?

I had been Zonealarm using for the past 6 years. Before that was Norton Internet Security (which is a memory hog, and does not perform well at all).

Initially, the earlier version ZoneAlarm was good. Strong firewall and easier to configure. But since beginning of this year, the newer version is a memory resource hog. Eating up my resource, slowing down my PC. Worst of all, it interfere with my p2p, causing the PC to freeze. The culprit was the TrueVector. Did some research in ZA forum, and found out I'm not alone. The solutions offered by forumers in ZA forum, like clearing the Internet Log, temp files, RDB files, ldb files, etc. weren't helpful at all. So, I stop using ZA.

My favourite choice are:

1. Outpost Pro Firewall v4.0.1007 which is what I'm using now. I think it is a very good firewall. Strong and secure. Difficult to kill. Slightly troublesome to set up. Initially there was a lot of message pop-ups asking you what to do with any apps. After a week of usage, it became lesser and lesser (it's learning). And it does not interfere with my p2p. Also not as resource-hog as ZoneAlarm.

2. Comodo Firewall is another good one. It is secure and non-leakable. And it's FREE! I tried this, but then decided to go for the Outpost. Reason being, the Comodo blocks my ActiveSync's port. I set the rules for it, but unable to open up my ActiveSync port. That's the reason I use Outpost firewall till now.
