Norton Personal Firewall 2004
found it extremely good so far :)
za pro, kicks all the other firewalls in the ballz ;)
ZoneAlarm pro 4.5 :rolleyes: very simple and 100% security
Well How is it good? guys?
Cause I am comparing firewalls if ZAPRO is good enough I heard NIS was laggy and slow, caused the internet to slow down?
Zone Alarm Pro with Web Filtering. :smilie4:
It's sufficient and it works. :01:
Sygate Personal Firewall
Whats the difference between sygate and ZA and NIS?
Advantages and disadvantages
I'm using McAfee Firewall. Works good for me.
Using sygate personal firewall pro. it is the best so far.
check http://www.wilders.org/ for details why spf is better than za which i found that it sucked and did not detect ddos attacks that sygate always detects. it's IMO and I might be wrong.
I use hardware, instead of software. Server, Router to create a NAT and VPN. Software firewalls used to get in the way of my LAN connection. I'm in a situation in which everyone has to be able to get any file at any time.

Zonealarm is crap it destroyed my system registry :(
Norton is the way to go does not slow internet down at all!

my self ? i use Norton personal Firewall
Why use a firewall at all. Do you peps really think the internet is safe and free to do as you will.....you kids kill me....a firewall only stops kids from playing with kids.
I ran a broadband connection for 5 yrs. with no firewall or anitvirus and I had no problems.
Go ahead and believe the advertisements if you will.
I have a friend that works for symantec in Virginia and that is all that he does, write kiddy scrips for kids...Project Development is the Department he is employed by.
As far as the subject is concerned.....please do a search of the board as all of the information has already been posted 100+ times.
Wow. Ive seen some pretty stupid post on this forum but that right there pal takes the cake. Im not even going to debate that because anybody on this board with common sense can see you dont really have a clue.:(Quote:

Btw, I use a router, and a damn good one. No software based firewall can ever compete with a physical device like a router.
The best software firewall is Linux.;) Just take a shitty pc and install linux or bsd (which is not linux btw) and install it with no gui or hardly anything else and configure your ip tables, filters, etc. If your a n00b then just install the gui and use the lokkit gnome firewall utility (too simple).
@WolverineDK -- That looks interesting. It beats fully installing bsd on a machine just to use it as a firewall which is what most people do.
Still LOL @skelly's post :frusty:
i use za 4.5 and router
Without firewall, you wont be able to know if a hacker/trojan/viruses/spyware comes in and hijacks your computer?
Well it wont happen now but anytime it will.
ZA ruined your reg key? wow my didnt... well hmm should I get NIS?
its so much software you need to have and by the time you set them all up your computer usage will be up and you could barely run a program. You need a antivirus software,spyware program and a firewall, and so on. Cant the companies make one software that contains all of this? man :frusty:
I think bloated versions of norton do that. An antivirus and firewall at least, Im not sure if they have a suite with spyware protection.Quote:

Just because its 3 programs in one does not mean it wont require the same amount of system resources as it would if it were 3 seperate programs.
Zonealarm pro 4 here pain to setup but worth it

Use systemsuite, its much better. Version 4 is produced by ontrack, and version 5 by vcom (who bought it from ontrack). If you install version 5, don't install all the extra crap that comes with it.

Norton corporate is very lightweight and gets the job done. Its what I use on my xp box. I use version 7.60.xxx, there are newer versions but I think this one is just fine.
Its just antivirus though, I dont need the other stuff. You might want to try something else if your looking for an all in one suite. :)
yeah...i dunno if norton 2004 pro has a firewall, if it does...i dunno where the hell it is hah
but i use my router...works like a charm
I use McAfee firewall
definantly the best out there does not slow down internet
I use z.a 4.5 pro
im using the router firewall and for the pc just windows xp one
If you want a good combined Anti Virus and Firewall, go for Panda Anti Virus Platinum. This is a good product that does the job. The Anti Virus updates daily, and sometimes twice daily, and is easy to configure. The firewall is made by Sygate and runs well within the programme, blocking any attackers ISP for 10 minutes automatically.
:D :D :D
Zone Alarm free edition.
Zonealarm Pro with web filtering rules, can't beat it :)
Norton's is crap also the anti-virus ain't safe, ever hear the story about the virus that was desgined to escape the nortons quartine t cause crap on y a pc?
Well don't really trust Nortons so i run a second Anti-virus next to it now to be safe, as most hackers & virus makers compare to the top brands like nortons.
simple answer: none.
If norton was crap I dont think big companies and universities would be using norton corporate av clients and servers for their networks.Quote:
