IMO Windows 7 native FW .. you cant get more compatible than that .. Comodo, ESET also make excellent products... In the end, you will need to asses your needs and decide which one to use...

Good Luck and welcome to Seven Forums..

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Avast! It's completely compatible with 7 and It's an excellent product that's FREE! It's better than some of the paid ones to be honest!:huh:

Hi Zeshan, we are talking about firewall, not antivirus. ;)

I would like to use the included Windows 7 Firewall with outbound protection, but I'm missing an option that I don't know if it's implemented or not.

Is it possible to configure Windows Firewall to ask when a program tries to connect for the first time?

I've been a long time user of McAfee Destop Firewall 8, a simple yet effective firewall that I've configured by simply answering "Yes" or "No" every time a program tries to connect to the Internet.

I can only see two options: "Block" or "Allow"... any help? :(

You might want to give Windows7 Firewall control a try. Even the free version will do what you want. It complements and simplifies the native firewall. Try it.

If you have a hardware router, which just about eeveryone does, you don't need anything more than the built-in firewall.

Windows 7 Firewall Control in it's free version has worked perfectly for what I was looking for. It informs me when a program tries to connect to the Internet and let me decide just once if I let it or not.

Thanks a lot

:)

It did!

My only complaint is about a little annoyance. The program opens automatically when I start Windows and it appears both in the system tray and in the new task bar.

I would like to keep it only in the system tray and not in the taskbar. Is it possible?
