Best Firewall

[mr. nails]

i tried zone alarm and that is the only one i've tried. didn't like it. even though i gave permission for programs to run za still didn't allow them to run. also, zapro or whatever also has the game function and that crap didnt' work either. internet games always stuttered. meh, windows firewall works for me. lol, if that really even works.

Well you know they work when you can't share thru p2p or use MSN.

lol, that's funny. guess i never thought of it that way. true. my quabble was that sure, they worked in that aspect, but having to turn it off to run certain programs and/or games is retarded. now i'm vulnerable.

I just changed to Outpost,
why is the icon in the sidetray always a question mark?

yes i have autoupdate on.

[4play]

because the icon is meant to be a question mark.

I use outpost but i found the latest releases very annoying since there are too many pop ups asking to give permission. I know thats what its meant to do but you tend to get bored after 10 mins on a new install and just press allow all for everything after the 70th time.

oh ok i thought i had some outpost error or something,
Yes i agree it brings up alot more questions which can get confusing and somewhat annoying.... but it is for your own safety...

will try zonealarm later to see difference.

@ Billy the fish, what version you using?

@4play, sounds like you chose advanced configuration which prompts alot, goto file (top left) and choose new configuration and then choose the one under advanced and you wont get as many prompts like dns, injection blah blah you get with advanced.

Oh my choce is Outpost,lol.

We should have another thread entitled what firewall do you use for your NoObie friends ? I try to use something simple and easy to setup for them .

ZA works but as I said I prefer an all in one security suite to keep the phone calls down .


Friend : This firewall sucks ,Peat I can't get on the net .

Peat : Its doing its job then ?
