Questions about Windows Firewall
Hi,
I've been a ZoneAlarm Pro (firewall only) user for the last 11 years, at the time I started with ZA the Windows firewall was lacking many features and ZA was among the top firewalls. My ZA subscription expires in Nov and I would like to move to the Windows brand of firewall.
Right now I use MSE, MalwareBytes, and SpywareBlaster along with ZA. I haven't ever used the Windows firewall and am considering changing to it. My questions would be has it improved over the years, does it block outgoing traffic, is it user friendly configurable if something needs to be allowed in or out? If Microsoft is offering a comparable product I would rather use it than a third party application.
I know all things like this are personal preference but I am asking for opinions, all are welcome, thanks to all who reply.
