indygo18 Posted February 19, 2005 CID Share Posted February 19, 2005 I am currently using a suggested firewall of this site. Not sure if I like it all that much. Any suggestions or comments as to what firewalls are used and liked? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted February 19, 2005 CID Share Posted February 19, 2005 I have used many I own a McAffee AV right now but I'm using the free ZA which works fine 4me....BTW I uninstalled McAFlea because it slowed down my speed by 1000Kbps and Tech Support couldn't fix it and their final suggestion was what was more important 2me speed or safety.....I didn't waste my time answering, I always thought if you were a paying customer you could have both but I guess I was wrong....

Swimmer Posted February 19, 2005 CID Share Posted February 19, 2005 Trendmicro Internet Security is my fav right now.. I have used nortan, ZA, and a few other free one.. the thing that I like about TM is that you can scan for wireless clients that are not supost to have acess to your network.. Very helpful! and the updates are about every 10 hours or so.. Very current! Take a look well worth the 49.99 price tag.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoShow Posted February 19, 2005 CID Share Posted February 19, 2005 I'm using Bitdefender 8 Pro and it works fine for me. It has the antivirus and firewall and I really like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted February 19, 2005 CID Share Posted February 19, 2005 I use Norton Internet Security 2005, works great for me, very easy to use it take some more resources then the average firewall and antivirus programs, but has alot of good features VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted February 19, 2005 CID Share Posted February 19, 2005 by default Norton have "Automatic Program control" enabled, turn that off and delete all program specifyed rules, now Norton will ask you for each connection to your pc btw, no firewall is 100% secure, the most holes in Firewall is made by the user, poor configged program rules VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 19, 2005 CID Share Posted February 19, 2005 Nortan was great!! i just like trend because it is all in one package.. not a seprate firewall and virus scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
