QUOTE(adriankhoo153 @ Apr 2 2007, 10:14 AM) Do you think that Window Defender alone is enough to act as Firewall? Yeah, it only block certain spyware and adware, other viruses will still go through.. thats M$ for u   Vista security is good enough anyway, i only install 1 AVG free on it, thats all |

QUOTE(bean_man @ Apr 5 2007, 02:22 PM) Sufficient for starters. Mind you there are plenty of firewalls which is more than basic firewall. If you happen to use ZA, you will see the increased functionality of a firewall rather than just what is seen on Windows firewall. ZA is not as concrete as u thing, same goes to all the AV and firewalls in the worldGives the additional peace of mind.... u know y? ZA and other firewall doesnt have a.i build in.. and requires self analysing to configure the incoming and outgoing data from ur computer.. if u are computer ignorant.. then the risk is still there |

QUOTE(eXPeri3nc3 @ Apr 5 2007, 10:10 PM) Yes, agree with both of them, self awareness and definitely alternative firewalls are better than Windows Firewall. Think of it this way, Windows aren't specialised in producing Windows Firewall, yes, it might look safe but it's not, whereas commercial or free firewalls do a better job. IMO, windows firewall is good if u didnt surf to those hardcore pron sites or warez  My 2 cents.  heck its not memory consuming and annoying compared to ZA ( i have to configure the firewall for a game of dota in the past ) .. i dunno bout you, but windows firewall in vista seems to be much better than windows firewall in xpoh.. i am just using a plain AVG free + windows firewall |
