until now my router does a good job, i used to have software firewalls like sygate, eset, kaspersky and all that shit, tried em all D:

but tbh they cause trouble here and there so i decided to get rid of software fw's.

And nearly every1 with a decent knowledge i asked said dont use software firewalls :d

Used Zonealarm until now, but a friend of mine told me to use "Comodo Firewall" so i'll try it

Comodo Firewall seems too much complicated for a shitty firewall.

COMODO Firewall. Put the Proactive defense to "Training Mode" then you're all set. Do it immediatly after installing it. You'll get a few pop-ups but after that you won't. Great firewall.

I installed linux 3 weeks ago, and i dont think i'll switch back any soon. You need to hang on a little, read some tutorials on the community website (they have answers for most of your questions), because it's wayyyyyy smoother than windows :(

I dont mean the OS installation.. just the programs / drivers / configure some hardware etc.... the random things you do at windows
Parent

Murderlove 10 Jul 2008, 16:17
I didn't mean the OS aswell :). But I agree, installing the drivers, updates, etc is the most annoying part.

still got a key? wanna give it a try :)

douille 10 Jul 2008, 16:11
You dont even need a key !
And can find it on oldversion.com. (the last kerios are eating quite a lot of ram)
I used the old because it's light, and decent for every days use. But if somebody want to hack into your computer, he will regardless what firewall you have :D

used comdo firewall.. but since i found out that most of the common trojaners are already bypassing it it seems a bit senseless... also i think i felt some ressource probs.. but not sure.

A good firewall was the one from akspersky (kaspersky i-net security) but its hard to find a good key :x

Eset smart security should be one of the best progs atm. But i remember some firewall for around 800$ .. also had a key once :x but dont remamber the name .. and also lot the key :(

if u get a nice advice let me know :)

I never had any problems with COMODO to be honest. But a good firewall would be Online Armor:

Comparison Online Armor versus COMODO Firewall:

If you find a keygen for Online Armor or perhaps know someone who cracks let me know.

software firewalls are quite useless.
▼
ag0n 10 Jul 2008, 16:32
Unless you use a quite good one :P Hardware firewalls have also a software running at background ....
