So no probs here.
I like outpost... this is for me the best, and don´t lag in online games..
take a look and say something
My little guy turns mine off when playing DOD or CCS , problem is the bugger forgets to turn it back on . :frusty:Quote:

Kaspersky for me - tried norton for a couple of years but got fed up with continual problems and errors causing the need for re-downloads
i'm not using a firewall
only vista firewall
zone alarm was great while i used it
agnitum outpost is the best. zone alarm is reseting my pc.
win XP SP2
I used to have ZoneAlram but it caused some CPU usage problems so I switched to Sygate which is working fine.
I've also tried Outpost and that didn't mix well with my PC.
I used to use Zonealarm Free (until today) when I found that it was stopping me set up my simple 2 PC home network on XP Home. I spent 2 weeks trying to get it going, with many suggestions from people about disabling firewalls. I did not really believe them. I disabled Zonealrm using MSconfig etc. Until today I uninstalled Zonealarm and my network worked first time !
I have seen many people having problems setting up home networks with their Work Group Places not showing shared PCs, pinging problems, permission denied etc etc. As far as I am concerned a lot of them could be fixed if they unistalled Zonealarm.
I believe a lot of these problems came in with SP2. But you would think that Zonelarm would have it sussed by now ! (I was using their latest update)
So Zonealarm sucks and I need a good free firewall !

i don't care to much for za either. currently i'm using comodo fw, but it has some things i don't really care about either. haven't tried games with it yet so i can't comment on that fact. what is annoying is the fact that it ALWAYS asks for permission when opening firefox or whatever browser thru msn and other appz. i've configured it so it shouldn't do this, but it does it anyway. fucking retarded. i guess i get what i pay for.. no? i would like to also add why are ppl using that sygate fw? it's over 1 year old without updates. it's still good?
@mrnails Ya Comodo is a not at lot of fun to setup , defiantly not for noobies . Its taken me days and countless forums to setup for games and p2p programs .
My little fingers bled trying to give Uttorent permissions until I read Port Forwards help forums . Revtt actually pm'd me complaining about not being able to see my connections ( Ghosted ) even tho I have a share ratio of 2.978 .Steam was n't a lot of fun either I might add till I manually added it to the safe zone in component monitor.
Here's the link again for Comodo , other Firewalls are listed on the main Firewall page .

I updated early this week to Comodo Firewall Pro 2.4.16.174 it took awhile to update as well . Funny it failed the first two times , it was taking so long that I must of grew impatient and shut it down . Thats not like me . :whistling
I found exactly the same thing. uTorrent needed nothing at all, and I was so worried that I posted on the Comodo forum about Comodo not even asking about uTorrent. Nobody had any answer that made sense, and just said it's ok. Made me very uneasy about Comodo.Quote:
