Firewalls! Do You Think They Are Spywares¿

[dudevenezuela]

Do you think firewalls really protect you ? Or they make you think they are protecting you but they are just stealing your information like spywarez for example?

I'm just curious

I think you are being paranoid...

lol probably but i still want to know if somebody can tell me something about it

Seriously, dude... You're being paranoid.

Did the question just pop into your head, or have you read/observed something that makes you wonder?

You're question is so vague it's almost unanswerable. If you really want a general answer, though, it's "No; firewalls are not spyware." Happy?

i remember reading an article about suspect data sent from the free version of zone alarm which they though was spyware.

they have to pay for the development some how. ;)

As long as you have Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy, you really don't need to worry about it. :)

yup, i agree, spybot does what it says on the can.....and then some. personally i think every1s getting more paranoid these days with filesharing. :unsure:

[dudevenezuela]

Paranoid or not but is something to think about it................

i regularly check my comp 4 ad/spyware, but as 4 firewalls who knows 4 sure, i just think it would be a little far fetched 4 your own protection 2b spying on u, i mean....most the guys on here didnt pay 4 their pc protection, but u dont get your door bust down 4 that, surely that would be the best way of checking on their products i would have thought :ph34r:
