Donaldo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Personally, I rate a firewall higher than an AntiVirus in my security setup. I tend to rely primarily on my firewall and only secondarily on my AntiVirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Personally, I rate a firewall higher than an AntiVirus in my security setup. I tend to rely primarily on my firewall and only secondarily on my AntiVirus.How can you compare those two? They have totally different purposes... Both are necessary imo. I rate both equally, because I don't want to be hacked nor don't I want to get infected... But getting hacked may be worse :DAnyways... I've read some system security reports and reviews and there is a general consent that the most complete defense combination is AV + FW and 2 antiSpies (which imo is a bit paranoid, I think one or none are enough if you got good AV and FW, and even less necessary if you know how not to surf the net):coolwink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Firewall = emphasis on 'prevention'AntiVirus = emphasis on 'remedy'I prefer 'prevention' to 'remedy' (women with unwanted pregnancies would agree with me on this.) :hehe: I agree with you that both are necessary (a firewall as well as an AntiVirus.) All I'm saying is my first line of defense is to remember to lock my doors instead of concentrating on battling it out after the Rapist has crossed into my home. :D So you see - it's not at all about comparison (I vote for both) but with more (not equal) attention on the Firewall. :coolwink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a 'install and forget' kind of software.Anyway, I hope everyone here knows what to do when prompt by your firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 He He!!!!Prevention is certainly preferable to cure. A firewall, though is most daunting for Noobs to be using - they eventually request you to uninstall it on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Guess Noobies who visit here (perhaps seeking 'warez') would benefit from learning to use a firewall. :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
