Which Free Firewall

[Matt1eD]

I didn't greatly like Zone Alarm, any other good free firewalls (not XP one).

I find the Windows XP SP2 firewall perfectly adequate, coupled with regular AV and spyware scans.

Sygate. Its really very good.

[ajbrun]

Kerio Personal Firewall.

[Apex]

Sygate

or

Outpost if you want to pay

[ajbrun]

What's the difference between sygate and kerio?

[schrickvr6]

Another vote for sygate if you don't have SP2.

[Matt1eD]

Thanks all.

Has anyone considered a hardware firewall built into a router? Obviously theyre only useful if you are running several machines. My network uses a hardware firewall, so I'm only using the SP2 one.

I use my firewall that is built into my router, provides all the protection I need, I still have the WinXP one enabled as well.

Kerio Personal Firewall.

Yes. Brilliant little firewall.

[DigiGuru]

I use Kerio on new PC builds myself.

My PC is connected through a firewall/router, so I'm not fussed, but on pcs that connect directly, I'd use Kerio...

And may Norton Internet Security die a horrible death lol
