Administrator Lite Posted August 1, 2005 Administrator Share Posted August 1, 2005 There is no best firewall....It depends on what you want in your firewall...Application control? Packet filtering? IDS? Stateful Packet Inspection? Content control? Ease of use? Pretty graphics? Litte or no promts? Resource usage? Application Launch Control?The list goes on....So tell us.... what EXACTLY do you want?If you havent an idea what these are... tell me :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oxygenuk Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 zone alarm pro or sygate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverSamuel Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 zone alarm...no, i jus need a firewall program, that uses too much memory... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erRor67 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I actually stopped using ZA when the antivirus came out but Im pretty sure you can disable it... That, or download it without antivirus support.Hmm, you can try SyGate and Outpost. Those seem to be pretty good. I personally am using sygate at the moment. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverSamuel Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 does it use too much memory? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erRor67 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I dont think so...Although it occationally goes to 100% CPU... which i think its a problem on my end cause my friend's comp doesnt do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyleWarz Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 ZoneAlarm Pro sucks at the moment, they keep on adding bloat, although ZoneAlarm Free is quite nice :unsure: Kerio is worth a look too (free version is good enough). Outpost doesn't work good for me (many BSOD), but that seems a problem for more people then me...If you want a really nice firewall I would recommend Kerio Server Firewall, works great on workstations too. You might take a look at it. About Sygate, it was very good, but it definitly needs to be upgraded. I won't use security software wich doesn't get an upgrade for almost a year now...
