A collab v3, fine with me. Like I said, any changes that you feel should happen

should be suggested. I'm an open minded person & I like new ideas.

If Haantjuh's cool with it then I am too :D

Cool then its settled. :fool: but can it wait for a while? Dont mean to sound cocky but

victory is sweet & I have a giant sweet tooth. I wanna eat this up for a while :sneaky:

Tomorrow or later is good for me. Or whenever is conveinent for you is ok too.

Fort Knox (or name change) will be better than ever :D

Vista doesn't need a third party firewall to slow down the system. Its own firewall is good enough.

Vista doesn't need a third party firewall to slow down the system. Its own firewall is good enough.

Omfg, that's discussed like a thousand times.. And yeah everybody has it's reasons..

Some prefer the OS firewall, other 3rd party firewall.

Anyone who wants it, can have it. If some prefer OS firewall it's also good.

But i have to say that the 3rd party Firewalls do a better job. Giving you info about what wants to connect to .... (imagine something :D)

And Yeah Rock, enjoy your victory :sneaky:

I'm a 16 year old schoolkid.. This week i'm kinda busy as hell.. Tomorow English Presentation (easy as hell :P) and a huge Physics test.. (meh :yes:)

Next week would be great! :fool:

[Rock Lee]

I knew someone would eventually disagree with something.

The vista firewall thing is you opinion, which is fine with me.

None of the stuff I have on here is absolutely mandatory, you

can get everything or pick & choose certain things. If you dont

like something then dont use it. Simple as that...

Heh I'm a 17 (18 later this year) year old schoolkid. Pretty busy week for me too

(midterms on Friday) so I have no problem with next week. (Its Spring Break for us :sneaky:)

I'll be ready, just pm me when you need to.

I can't believe you featured Comodo more than Outpost... blasphemy! I know it's free but am I the only one who hates Comodo's firewall? Everything is really confusing and hard to find, it isn't intuitive at all. Likewise, I say the same for NOD32, but only because it's options are all over the place (look how many ThreatSenses you set). I use that though. Nice guide... too bad I didn't know about this contest lol, I would have tried it too!

Tips I don't think I saw in your guide but I only scanned so I may be wrong:

- Get Eraser... not shredded files = eventually come back to haunt you if unfortunate

- Put the firewall into Block Most/All mode when not using your computer

lol @ blasphemy :fool:

Anyway, I featured Comodo's firewall because it doesnt suck up as much resources as Outpost does.

Yes I've tried both. Comodo's firewall is really easy to use for me & so is ESET. Some may not know

where everything is (ESET v4's nav is cleaner) but a little time to acclimate yourself should do the trick.

*I did say why I chose Comodo in the guide, that should elaborate more.

Thanks for the tips. Under consideration for v3 :D

[AshTheGamer]

You should really Thank Rock lee for making such a fantastic guide/tutorial which one the Nsane competition congratz again on that :fool:.

Outpost sucks resources? Hot damn, I had no idea (my computer is on technology's last legs)... I really don't mind Comodo at all but I just can't wrap my head around the way it's designed... I put it on friends computers and I'm like "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" lol. I just want to see somebody pimp out the GUI. Eset I don't mind either but instead of grouping by real time/email scan/etc, let us sort by ThreatSense/cleaning options instead? :blink: Yeah my brain works wordsback. That and is there a "I know what I"m doing option"... I NEVER use email/document scanning and well don't even get that many of either but the icon is like yellow 24/7 if you turn off those features since they think there's something wrong. hey do you know a work around for that? And what about Comodo's AV? If AVG is as "good" as McAfee (well by default it's not McAfee so it blows it it into another galaxy) then how is Comodo doing I wonder... actually how is Agnitum doing as well. I think I need to test some more AV's out or at least look them up. but probably back to nod.

[donizme]

nice job!!!! I was gona make a tut aswell but sadly had to go away for a few days didn't have time :think:

hopefully in the next comp I will have a chance to show what i can do :w00t: hehe

[Toshiro]

Yeah, outpost eats all the resources :think: I uninstalled it last week on my dad's machine, and you could tell the difference...

And, **** the GUI, Nod32's GUI is great, beautiful... But do i need it? Nope, cuz I open Eset like 1 time in the whole month.. Same if you had Comodo. It's doing it's job.

lol dude im not gonna argue with you about this. If you wanna use a different firewall

then by all means do it. No one's forcing you to use the things I put in my guide. I

put them there because I felt they made the cut. I tested each & every software

mentioned in this guide myself & then decided which to use. I would never simply go

off of just charts & graphs. This is for quality, defense & speed. Take one of those out

of the equation & my guide is useless. Outpost or not, all I was trying to do is provide info :D

Thanks Donimze :D ; I'm looking forward to the next one. I've got a few more things up my sleeve :welcome: ha²

Entries made before a certain competition starts may also be requested to be judged ;)

(So you don't have to wait around for another competition, although I doubt you would :P)

That depends on what the competition is about :sneaky:

& I doubt I'll get the answer I wish to hear but...did I even come close

to 'owning' that Ultimate Defrag guide of yours? :D

[mosaji]

Just upgraded to EAV + CIS

However could not change to IE8. It is really crappy but was quite disheartening to see FF lose

Thanks

[mosaji]

Eset antivirus could not disinfect this worm - Win32.Worm.Sohanad.NBM

Changed to Bitdefender AV plus Comodo (the firewall is quite nagging but converts the pc into a virtual fort)

[Bizarre™]

@nooooooooo:

Become a VIP, and you'll see the GUI I made for COMODO...

Bah, I changed my mind.

Here you go:

MediaFire . com sharecode is /?w5kz015mlle

My respects, Rock Lee. :lol:

[Mr. Papeto]

Rock Lee thanks a lot for this guide. I've already installed comodo and my pc feels lighter. I was using outpost and that firewall sure eats up resources.

One quick question, do you recommend having both firewalls on, comodo and Eset Smart Security?

Congratulations Rock Lee you deserve it :)

[Rock Lee]

My respects, Rock Lee. :drunk:

Thanks for the respect Donaldo. You've earned mine also :cheers:

Congratulations Rock Lee you deserve it :dance2:

*Sorry for the late reply. I was eating a PB&J :sneaky:

No problem for the guide. There's an updated version coming soon. Look out for it :yes:

Anyway, I noticed the same as you when I ditched outpost. As I stated in the guide, the point is to keep speed while having security. I hate a slow PC just as much as the next guy & the last thing I want to do is slow yours down. Glad I could help in this area :welcome:

That depends on how secure you wish to feel. Some would say no but I feel it's all about the situation. If you feel that you will be more protected with both on then be my guest and do so. If not, then dont. My recommendation: Use both. Can't be too careful of these ever changing viruses :tank:

Thanks for the congrats man. I appreciate it :)

[shought]

Running two firewalls at a time was never recommended, because they might conflict with each other. But you can try and if you don't experience any problems it's probably OK..

[Bizarre™]

@shought:

Indeed :(

1 Firewall is enough, so choose the best.
