So what's the best free firewall currently?

sygate personal firewall - the LAST firewall youll ever need..

no-lah, just made the slogan part up!  zonealarm free not ngam with me and my utorrent.  Truevector crashes frequently.  Dl spf, just like those old, dialup days

yeah,
i am using sygate firewall now
think it is running lite than my Sunbelt Kerio...

love it but...one more thing..it have a super duper "back trace" option which we can trace who is trying to talk with your PC without authorization...

i always get this message frequently thru my Celcom 3G DataCard...is it someone trying to hack me??

Thanks for the suggestion GS, will try out Outpost first

Btw, anymore ZA users here without major problems? I might stick back to ZA since I'm pretty much used to it already, then again there's no harm in trying better new firewalls.

super macgyver: False, they..using outdated engine means you're more vulnerable to worms, port scan, trojan attacks "/..

False again. Avs can't or rarely block Port Scans. And not to mention, infiltration can't be block without a firewall. Thirdly, you cannot monitor or control incoming or outgoing traffic Efficiently and Accurately.

Cheers!

Update - Comodo serves it's job. Not bad. NO problems so far... Besides my cFosSpeed detect 2 active connections only whereas last time it usually at least 30+

line calibrating software...

Update - I take back what I'd said... It screwed my msn... no matter how I allow it it still won't connect... and... the protection changed from Effective to BAD...

I dunno what the heck happened...

Might as well stick back to Outpost Firewall Pro

Hello guys. I have a problem here. I'm using Sygate Personal Firewall Pro now. I notice that my Sygate takes a very long time to load if my LAN connection is on when I boot my PC. But when I don't switch on my LAN connection during the PC startup, Sygate loads very quickly. In the end, I can only switch on my LAN connection after Sygate loads. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

super macgyver, Don't you think that posting your MSN Address is rather inviting SPAM and BOTs? Hope you can edit accordingly. Just reminding. Cheers!

Echo here... But he haven't "taste" the spam bots before... Lucky him.

I changed to a few others, such as Comodo (simple and easy but personally not liking it ), Look'n'Stop (rules-based, not recommend for newbie, have a prob - making pc slow shutdown), now using Outpost (so far so good, not prob yet for 2 weeks+)

Outpost Firewall Pro ver. 4.0.971.7030 (584)

*ahem* type 

ahhh..... need to Uninstalled the zonealarm
i planning to change firewall too

my friend having trouble granting access to software using outpost

Nothing's perfect in this world.
Be it in anything.
Outpost.. it just takes time...

hmmm......
one is complicated but good in some sense
one is simple but a lot of fault

Yeah, but the irritating part is sometimes it's very buggy and it closes automatically[nuked]
