I have a double zone alarm firewall. Good enough to block 99% of attacks?

Linksys and Software firewall

u'll be pretty safe. the riaa's windows 3.0 and dos will have a hard time hacking through ur 128 bit encryption, but it might slow ur dls as well

cuz it's not

OK
But what makes norton worse than sygate and za

[james_bond_rulez]

cuz norton is just trying to have a share of the firewall market, along with their "other products". in retrospect za is a dedicated company that licenses top quality firewall software.

norton is running business increasing like microsoft...

Have you used Norton's firewall? Probably not.
Does anyone read PC Magazine?
They have Norton Personal Firewall AND Zone Alarm Pro as editor's choices. I'll believe them before I believe a mere handful of users on this forum because YOU haven't even used the product.

Oh and I would test either of these products, pick one then add your hardware firewall. (hardware firewalls are usually enough)

Actually I do. To the average user a hardware firewall IS usually enough. I didn&#39;t say to only use that though. As I said, pick one top software firewall AND a hardware firewall.
You obviously don&#39;t know anything about Norton&#39;s firewall. Your&#39;re sitting there sprouting opinions about a piece of software you&#39;ve never used just because they&#39;re "just trying to have a share of the firewall market, along with their "other products".
They seem to have done a pretty good job.
Keep your uneducated want-to-know-it-all opinions to yourself.
Your ego won&#39;t shrink any less if you just STFU sometimes.

[james_bond_rulez]

oh wow if you run so low on words you can always flip open a dictionary, no need for stfu

anyways this topic is open for discussion i dont need to keep opinions to myself.

if you are so narrow minded about other ppl&#39;s opinions i suggest you turn off ur computer, go outside and yell "ooooosa" to strangers. Believe me, it&#39;ll do you some good
