    Based on Look 'n Stop.
    Maybe worth a try.
    I liked Look n stop but it worked too bloody well , hard to config . I'm tyring out Comodo what a pain to set rules as well .


    Found this to help set up your firewall with Utorrent .

    Can anyone tell me the number of intrusions you had before you had firewall protection and also why do you think the M$ built-in firewall is shit?

    Cause it is half-ass. Look at some firewall tests, it just lacks full coverage and features. Also, firewall hits...hmmm...I've had like one or two probably started by malware long ago when I wasn't too bright and I was click crazy. Not to mention horny. Anways, I still want to manage/monitor what's comin' in and what's goin' out. Also, wasn't there some webworm that infected unprotected systems by just being connected to teh World Wide Web? Sasser, was it?

    You're not saying firewalls are uneccesary are you?

    just to add. zone alarm 7 just came out and i'll prob test it out this weekend.

    also, maybe someone can confirm this in "this" thread. if u shut off zone alarm (not uninstall. just right click the icon in sys tray to disable it for some given time.) will windows firewall take over or will u be firewallless until u turn zone alarm back on? hopefully i can get an answer to this, but by this weekend i'll try to figure this out myself for i will be trying za7.

    You have to manually control Windows Firewall for the most part. If it's already on then its on, but if its off its off. It doesn't automatically click in.

    Is that what you're asking?

    Also, a side note: If WinXP Security Center is active it should notify you that there is no active firewall, AV, etc. by a balloon tip in the systray thus giving you the option to tick WinXP SP2 firewall on. I have this disabled cause I moniter my own shyt, so...

    The honest truth Busy , is I judge my firewall by what it lets out not what it lets in . I could be happy with any firewall on the market I think if config. properly .

    I'm trying ZoneAlarm 7.0.302.000. It seems very similar to the previous 6.5.737 that I was using.
